GAC uphold Marsden’s ban

Armagh forward Diarmuid Marsden will miss next year’s Ulster championship opener against Monaghan after his All-Ireland final red card was upheld by the GAC at Croke Park last night.

Marsden was controversially sent off by referee Brian White during the all-Ulster final in September after an altercation with Tyrone defender Philip Jordan, who appeared to charge into Marsden.
