Carrickmore, Dromore hit with heavy punishments

Suspensions totalling 452 weeks were handed out to players and spectators involved in fighting, along with fines and restrictions on the playing activities of both clubs for next season.

Four people from each club involved in fighting in the stand at Dunmoyle have been banned from the GAA for a year, while lengthy suspensions were also handed down to three Carrickmore players. The clubs have also been fined £300 (€348.50) each, the maximum fine under Tyrone bye-laws, with the money going to charity. Carrickmore and Dromore will have to play their next two competitive fixtures against each other at neutral venues. Both clubs have also been banned from taking part in the league play-offs next season. It’s understood both clubs are considering appealing certain aspects of the penalties, and they have three days in which to do so.
