Dublin duo may face action following incidents in Kerry game

Dublin footballers Ciarán Whelan and Denis Bastick may face disciplinary action arising out of two separate second-half incidents in Monday’s shattering All-Ireland SFC quarter-final defeat to Kerry.

Midfielder Whelan was caught by television cameras swinging an elbow into the face of Kingdom substitute Aidan O’Mahony while Bastick became entangled with Kieran Donaghy who was acting as a water carrier for Jack O’Connor’s side.

Televisions replays, unavailable during the game, showed the Dublin defender kicking out at former Footballer of the Year Donaghy who had been ruled out with a serious foot injury.

The Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) refused to comment on the matter last night.
