Galvin to appeal six-month suspension to CHC

KERRY captain Paul Galvin could be back in Croke Park tomorrow night to appeal the six-month suspension which was formally imposed by the GAA’s Central Hearings Committee (CHC) at a meeting at headquarters on Monday.

As indicated from the outset — when the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) proposed the penalty arising from his altercation with referee Paddy Russell and linesman Michael Meade in the Munster championship semi-final against Clare on June 15 — Galvin is set to pursue every avenue open to him in a bid to play some part in the county’s championship campaign.

Having failed with his appearance before the CHC, his next option is to lodge an appeal with the Central Appeals Committee (CAP).
