Murray faces eight-week ban

CORK senior footballer Fionan Murray is facing an eight-week ban after being sent off in the NFL first round clash with Kerry on February 1 .

The St Finbarr’s clubman has been reported by referee Michael Monahan (Kildare) for abusive language towards him and that offence carries a two-month suspension.

Murray, who has requested a personal hearing, will be accompanied by Cork County Board chairman Jim Forbes to tonight’s meeting of the Games Administration Committee in Croke Park.
