Two get lifetime bans from ladies football

TWO men have been banned for life from ladies football following a probe into serious incidents which marred a ladies Gaelic football match in Tyrone.

Referee Simon Brady and Tyrone county board chairman Martin Conway were both knocked unconscious after being assaulted following the county’s senior championship final between St Macartan’s and Carrickmore last month.

One of the pair handed lifetime bans by the Tyrone Ladies GFA was a member of the Carrickmore team management. A substantial fine was also imposed on the Carrickmore club.
