Bray set to miss Mayo clash as ban upheld

MEATH attacker Stephen Bray looks certain to miss tomorrow’s All-Ireland SFC quarter-final against Mayo, after his bid to have last weekend’s straight red card against Limerick rescinded was rejected by the GAA’s Central Hearings Committee.

The former All Star was dismissed for an off-the-ball incident in last Saturday’s qualifier win in Portlaoise for an incident involving Limerick defender Mark O’Riordan.

Meath GAA chiefs were adamant that Bray only warranted a second yellow card for the incident, but Armagh referee issued him with a straight red card.
