Moloney on the line for Banner despite proposed ban

Clare co-manager Donal Moloney will be on the sideline for Sunday’s Munster SHC final round game against Limerick — despite being handed down a significant suspension.

Moloney is understood to have received a proposed ban of at least two months following a couple of incidents, including one on the sideline at the final whistle of last weekend’s win over Tipperary.

The punishment was a retrospective one as it was too late at the time to take action. Linesman Johnny Murphy’s account is understood to have been included in the report of referee Paud O’Dwyer and the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) had no video evidence to consider. For that reason, Moloney’s chances of overturning the decision would appear to be slim.
