Tyrone players handed suspensions

Trouble flared after the Tyrone county final at Healy Park

Tyrone GAA officials have handed down suspensions totalling 80 weeks as a result of fighting which marred last Friday's Division One league final.

The drawn final between Carrickmore and Errigal Ciaran saw seven players sent-off during the match and a mass brawl at the end of normal time.

Five Carrickmore members have received suspensions totalling 44 weeks.

Six Errigal players have received bans totalling 36 weeks - including one three month ban and a two month ban.

A further four players have picked up four-week suspensions.

Three Carrickmore members were given 12-week bans and the other two have been suspended for a month each.

The individuals in question have been informed of the sanctions but the Tyrone County Board has chosen not to make the names public as they say that could compromise any potential appeal.

The brawl involved players and mentors from both teams.
