Derry consider Conway return as ban lifted

JAMES CONWAY will learn later this week if he will be part of the Derry senior football panel for the All-Ireland qualifiers, after his controversial eight-week suspension was lifted at an appeals meeting.

The Ballinderry man was handed the ban and dropped from the county squad pending an investigation into an off-the-ball incident during a club game in which county teammate James Kielt suffered a broken jaw.

The controversy overshadowed Derry’s preparations for Sunday’s Ulster semi-final loss to Tyrone.
