Tyrone could face sanctions over use of ‘ineligible’ players

ULSTER Council chairman Micheal Greenan admits Tyrone may face sanction over manager Mickey Harte’s decision to use four “ineligible” college players in Sunday’s Dr McKenna Cup tie against Derry.

Greenan attended the game in Omagh, where three UUJ players and one from St Mary’s were in the Red Hands’ starting line-up, in breach of competition regulations which state that universities have first call on inter-county players.

And he said the provincial council may call a special meeting this week to deal with the issue.
