Antrim hurling boss Davy Fitzgerald has been handed an eight-week suspension. 

The ban follows comments made by Fitzgerald in the aftermath of Galway's 28-point drubbing of Antrim in the Leinster SHC two weeks ago, in which Declan McCloskey was sent off just prior to half-time for an off-the-ball altercation.
