‘Managers must curb biting’

The GPA’s head of communications, Sean Potts, has called on inter-county managers to take the lead in eliminating biting from the game.

Dublin’s Jason Whelan received an eight week suspension on Wednesday night for allegedly biting a DCU player during last Sunday week’s O’Byrne Cup clash. It followed last April’s Dublin-Donegal league fixture at Ballybofey in which Paddy McBrearty claimed to have been bitten.

While refusing to comment on the Whelan incident, Potts is confident biting will be eradicated from the game.
