Donegal manager Jim McGuinness’ eight-week suspension for fielding an illegal player has been rescinded by Ulster GAA’s hearings committee.

The two-month penalty for playing his Glenties club-mate, 17-year-old Finbarr Roarty, in the McKenna Cup win over Armagh was overturned as the hearings body found the breach of rule was not proven.
