Galvin ban is cut short by board

KERRY’S Paul Galvin is poised for a surprise early return to inter-county football.

Galvin, suspended for six months following incidents in a club game for Finuge in November, has been reinstated following an appeal to the North Kerry Board.

He received 24 and 12-week bans with the punishments to run concurrently. The latter ban has now been served while the 24-week ban, was double the minimum suspension which the board could have issued in such circumstances.
