Dublin County Board to appeal Carton ban

The Dublin County Board have confirmed they will appeal the eight-week suspension which Under-21 and senior hurler Peadar Carton has been hit with.

Carton received the suspension following an incident during Dublin's All-Ireland SHC qualifier defeat to Tipperary on July 7. A wild and dangerous pull by Carton on Paul Curran left the Tipp defender with a broken jaw, missing teeth and a sore neck.
