O'Brien wins 'biting' allegation appeal

Dublin's Kevin O'Brien has successfully appealed his three-match ban for allegedly biting Donegal's Paddy McBrearty during the sides' recent Allianz Football League match in Ballybofey.

The GAA's Central Hearings Committee (CHC) met last night and a decision was taken that on the basis of evidence provided and the submissions made on behalf of both parties, the infraction against O'Brien, as alleged, was not proven.
