Offaly boss Dooley says length of Currams ban a ‘disgrace’

OFFALY hurling manager Joe Dooley has described as a “disgrace” the fact that forward Daniel Currams could sit out three championship matches thanks to the vagaries of the GAA’s disciplinary system.

The Kilcormac/Killoughey clubman was sent off by referee Johnny Ryan during the drawn Leinster semi-final with Galway on June 20 and was subsequently handed a four-week ban for a high tackle described as “dangerous to an opponent”.

Currams has already missed the replay defeat to Galway and will play no part in this Saturday’s All-Ireland qualifier against Limerick in Tullamore as well as the following fixture should Offaly progress.
