Derrytresk to make case on ban ruling

Derrytresk are expected to put forward their cases against recommended player bans in front of the Central Hearings Committee in Dublin this evening.

The Tyrone club will challenge a number of the Central Competitions Control Committee’s (CCCC) proposed suspensions handed down to eight of their players arising from the controversial semi-final against Dromid Pearses in Portlaoise last month.

Derrytresk are just five days away from their All-Ireland Club JFC final against Galway’s Clonbur in Croke Park. Dromid Pearses have confirmed they will be contesting all four of the punishments handed down to them — the €2,000 fine as well as the three player suspensions.
