Derry coach Morrison receives eight week ban

Derry football coach John Morrison has been hit with an eight-week ban - and will sit out the Oak Leafers' Ulster opener with Tyrone.

Armagh man Morrison, a highly rated coach, was hit with the ban after an altercation during Derry's recent league clash with Wicklow.

Morrison explained: "There was a melee in front of the Wicklow dugout, the referee came in and put me outside the wire."
