Sixteen face suspensions after Dublin-Meath violence

A record 16 players are set to be suspended in the wake of the violence that marred Dublin's National Football League clash with Meath at Parnell Park on Sunday.

The GAA's Central Competitions Control Committee informed both county boards of the suspensions last night.

Ciaran Whelan, Bernard Brogan, Paul Flynn, Dermot Connolly, Paddy Andrews and Ross McConnell are reportedly among eight Dublin players set to be banned.

Meath stars Shane McAnarney, Darren Fay, Seamus Kenny, Niall McKeigue, Nigel Crawford, Caoimhin King, Peadar Byrne and Brendan Murphy are also facing four to eight weeks on the sidelines.
