GAA propose suspensions for Thurles scuffle

The GAA have confirmed that the CCCC have proposed suspensions on a number of players from the Cork and Clare teams arising out of incidents in Sunday’s Guinness Munster Hurling Championship first round game in Semple Stadium, Thurles.

It was also confirmed that fines have been proposed to both County Boards in relation to these incidents. The parties involved now have the right to seek a hearing (through the Central Hearing’s Committee) if they do not accept the penalties imposed. No further information can be given at this point as the Disciplinary process is ongoing.

It was also confirmed that in relation to the Leinster Hurling Championship first round game between Laois and Offaly, the CCCC are not in a position to take any further disciplinary action in relation to incidents before the start of the game, as the Referee dealt with the situation at the time by issuing yellow cards.
