Dolan looks set for lengthy 48 weeks ban

Frankie Dolan is facing a lengthy ban after an alleged assault on the fourth official after last month’s Connacht Club final.

Dolan could be banned for up to 48 weeks following the incident after St Brigid’s four-point extra time loss to Mayo’s St Mitchell’s. The incident involving Sligo official John Gilmartin could see Dolan out of action until November 2014, although he has appealed the proposal.

“The referee reported Frankie assaulted the fourth official after the game and Frankie is getting a 48-week ban,” said St Brigid’s Club PRO Aine Martin.
