Disciplinary hearing over Douglas minor team suspensions delayed

Seventeen Douglas minor footballers, their five team mentors, and four club officials will not go before the Cork Hearings Committee this evening as the disciplinary body has deemed it necessary to convene a meeting with Rebel Óg East top-brass and leading Douglas officials before adjudicating on the 25 suspensions handed out.

The bans, which run from 12 weeks for the players to 48 for the Douglas team mentors and officials, were served by Rebel Óg East after 17 Douglas footballers played at two different minor grades - Premier 1 and Division 1 - this year.
