Kerry mull over next move in Galvin saga

KERRY GAA chairman Jerome Conway last night expressed his deep annoyance and frustration at the decision of Croke Park’s Central Hearings Committee (CHC) not to quash Paul Galvin’s eight-week ban.

Footballer of the Year Galvin was dismissed in the opening quarter of the Kingdom’s NFL defeat to Cork at Páirc Uí Rinn following a clash with Eoin Cadogan. As it was Galvin’s second infraction in a 48-week period, the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) proposed an eight-week ban for the Finuge man.

Kerry chiefs took their appeal to the CHC and despite what Kerry believe is “conclusive proof” that cleared Galvin of striking, the suspension remains in place, ruling the All-Star attacker out until the final round of the league on April 11.
