Cork football manager Ronan McCarthy will wait for the written report from his unsuccessful Central Appeals Committee hearing before deciding whether to take his case against a 12-week ban handed down by Croke Park all the way to the Disputes Resolution Authority (DRA).

McCarthy had his case heard by the GAA’s CAC Monday night, when he argued strongly against the three-month suspension imposed under Rule 7.2 for ‘discrediting the Association’.
