Rebels risk losing home comforts by appealing player bans

Cork footballers risk forfeiting home advantage in one of their remaining three Division 1 games if they contest their charge for contributing to a melee.

Cork and Armagh were handed proposed €5,000 fines by the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) for the fracas in their league game earlier this month.

Selector Ger O’Sullivan confirmed they will at least contest the suspension charges on Pearse O’Neill and Michael Shields.
