Tipp boss blasts GAC over Corcoran ban

TIPPERARY are likely to appeal the three-month suspension imposed on hurling wing-back Eamonn Corcoran, which rules him out of the entire Munster championship.

Manager Michael Doyle last night blasted both the length of the suspension and the way the entire matter had been handled by Croke Park’s Games Administration Committee.

He also echoed the annoyance of County Board Secretary Michael O’Brien that they had not been formally notified of the decision until yesterday morning. While Doyle was philosophical about the loss of Philip Maher - “injuries will occur and you can do nothing about it’’ - he made it clear that Corcoran’s treatment upset him.
