McMenamin appeal fails

Tyrone's Ryan McMenamin has failed in an appeal against a six-week suspension imposed following an incident in the county's league meeting with Kerry earlier this month, with the GAA last night instead increasing the ban to eight weeks.

McMenamin was hit with the additional suspension following a meeting the GAA's Central Hearings Committee after appealing the original ruling over the video footage of an incident involving him and Kerry's Paul Galvin during the February 15 tie.
