Douglas chair and secretary to contest bans

The Douglas GAA chairman and secretary are to contest the proposed 48-week suspensions they were slapped with last week — bans tied to the ineligibility of the Douglas minor football team which won last month’s Rebel Óg East Division 1 league final.

The 17 Douglas minor footballers, five team mentors, two underage club officials, and the aforementioned senior section chairman and secretary, who have all been hit with varying suspensions, will go before the Cork GAA hearings committee on Thursday.
