Michael Murphy free to return after serving match ban

Donegal captain Michael Murphy’s disciplinary record has been wiped clean after he served a one-game suspension last weekend, Croke Park has confirmed.

Last Sunday, Murphy became the first inter-county footballer to serve a ban under the GAA’s new cumulative suspension rules which were introduced last year.

The 25-year-old sat out Donegal’s draw with Mayo in Castlebar after he received a black card against Tyrone the weekend before, having already been shown one against Dublin in February and been sent off for two yellow cards against Cork last month.
