Jim McGuinness Handed An 8-Week Ban

Tuesday, 9 January 2024 09:51

By Hannah Kelly

This comes after the fielding of an ineligible player

Donegal manager Jim McGuinness has been handed an 8-week ban after the fielding of an ineligible player in the Doctor McKenna Cup win over Armagh.

Finbarr Roarty was 17 while featuring in the match, which contravenes the rule that players must be 18 years of age by the start of the calendar year.

The county does have the right to appeal and are expected to do so.

If the suspension is upheld, McGuinness will miss five of Donegal's Allianz National Football League games.
