DONEGAL ARE CONSIDERING an appeal following an Ulster Council investigation into a disciplinary incident involving the county’s minor team.
The alleged incident took place at half-time during the Ulster MFC quarter-final against Armagh, a game which Donegal won by 13 points.
The Donegal county board confirmed that they have “received communication” from the provincial council, but did not comment on local media reports that four members of the minor set-up have been handed lengthy bans.
The Donegal News and Highland Radio both reported that two players and two members of the backroom staff are set to face eight-week suspensions.
“Following much media speculation this morning, CLG Dhún na nGall can confirm that we have received communication from Comhairle Uladh with regard to a disciplinary matter at half-time of the Minor Football Championship Quarter-Final game v Armagh on Sunday May 31st,” the statement read.
“There will be no further comment at this time and CLG Dhun na nGall would respectively request that consideration be given to the fact that names of underage players should be be speculated upon while consideration is being given to an appeal process.”
