Armagh's Kelly given six month ban for eye-gouging incident against Galway 

Several players including Kelly across the two teams have received retrospective suspensions from the GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee

BRAWL: Players and officials from both sides become embroiled as they make their way to the dressing rooms at full time. 

Armagh’s Tiernan Kelly will not contest his six-month suspension for the eye-gouging incident at the end of normal time in last Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC quarter-final defeat to Galway.

Kelly is among four players, three from Armagh, to be issued proposed bans by Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) arising from the brawl. The other three are all substitutes – Armagh’s Conor Turbitt and Blaine Hughes and Galway’s Cathal Sweeney – and all had been recommended one-match penalties for acting dangerously towards an opponent. The Irish Examiner also understands the counties have been hit with €10,000 fines.
