Well-known Wexford referee John Carton has been hit with an 8-week suspension by Wexford GAA for comments made to a match official after a club championship game.

Carton is believed to have had a verbal exchange with referee Derek Murphy after his club Monageer-Boolavogue lost their county intermediate hurling semi-final championship game with Craanford on an 0-18 to 1-12 final scoreline.
