Proposed ban for inter-county ref Brian Gavin following comments at a club game

A proposed ban for comments towards an official may rule Brian Gavin out when it comes to the All-Ireland final in September.

Experienced GAA official Brian Gavin will referee the All-Ireland SHC semi-final between Kilkenny and Waterford at the weekend, but a proposed ban for comments towards an official may rule him out when it comes to the All-Ireland final in September.

The Irish Examiner reports today that a one-month ban has been proposed for Gavin by the Offaly County Board Competitions Control Committee - following an incident at the Offaly JFC quarter-final between Kilclonfert and Clara late last month.
