Conway suspended by Derry following incident with Kielt

DERRY midfielder James Conway has been suspended from the county senior football panel while an investigation is held into the incident in a club game last weekend which left inter-county attacker James Kielt with a broken jaw.

Kielt was playing for his club Kilrea against Conway’s Ballinderry last Sunday in a Derry Division 1 Football League game in Slaughtneil, when an off-the-ball clash occurred.

As the referee did not see the incident Ballinderry were ordered by the Derry County Board to identify which of their players was involved and as a result Conway is no longer involved with the county squad.
