Jason Forde will fight ban ‘injustice’, says Tipp chairman Michael Bourke

Tipperary County Board chairman Michael Bourke has described a proposed two-match suspension for Jason Forde as a “severe injustice”.

Forde, Bourke confirmed to Tipp FM, will contest the recommended punishment from the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) in front of the Central Hearings Committee in Croke Park next week.

Although Tipperary officials are confident of having the penalty overturned, the Silvermines man risks missing out on the county’s Munster opener against Cork on May 21 and either a semi-final clash with Waterford or a first round qualifier.
