Club ‘moves on’ as player’s father banned

Dromcollogher-Broadford are keen to draw a line in the sand following the proposed 96-week ban the Limerick County Board handed to their supporter Martin Stokes.

Ahead of Friday’s SFC final replay against Newcastle West, the club want to move on and away from the controversy which saw Stokes enter the field during last Sunday’s first game in the Gaelic Grounds and become involved in an altercation with James Kelly. Father of Drom-Broadford and Limerick footballer Jason, Mr Stokes received the maximum punishment available for the offence from the county board’s Competitions Control Committee (CCC).

No other bans were recommended as the CCC reviewed the referee’s report and photographs from the game dealing with the incident, which occurred following the sending off of Kelly for a second yellow card.
