Players hit with 36-week bans after Ulster brawl

THE Ulster Council has handed out stiff suspensions and imposed heavy fines on the clubs involved in a brawl at the end of an Ulster Club IFC game last month.

Four players, two each from Ballymacnab of Armagh and Tyrone’s Stewartstown, were handed 36-week bans.

And both clubs were fined €2,500 as a result of the post-match melee which marred their Ulster semi-final.
