DUBLIN WILL BEGIN their defence of the Sam Maguire on Saturday, 3 June without the services of corner-back Philly McMahon.
The four-time All-Ireland winner has been handed a one-match ban relating to Dublin’s defeat to Kerry at Croke Park in the Allianz Football League Division 1 final on 9 April.
According to a statement released this evening by the GAA, the Central Competitions Control Committee took disciplinary action against McMahon due to “abusive language towards a referee”.
The 29-year-old requested a hearing, which took place this evening, and the Central Hearings Committee “found the infraction proven” and imposed a suspension of one match on the Ballymun Kickhams player.

The punishment rules McMahon out of Dublin’s Leinster senior football quarter-final against Carlow at O’Moore Park in Portlaoise a week on Sunday.
However, the player does have the option of appealing in the meantime to the Central Appeals Committee.
