Sligo satisfied as players’ dismissals overturned

SLIGO officials are pleased with the success of their efforts in having footballers Eamonn O’Hara and Padraig Doohan exonerated following their dismissals in the recent Bank of Ireland championship qualifier game against Westmeath on July 15.

Suspensions on both players were overturned by the Central Disciplinary Committee at their midweek meeting, following a review of the incidents. However, the Sligo Board has decided not to comment publicly on the outcome.

Sligo’s Brendan Egan received a four-week suspension, which dates from the game.
