Thu 12 Dec 2008Crossmaglen's McEntee wins appeal against red card
GAELIC GAMES NEWS :CROSSMAGLEN'S JOHN McEntee has won his appeal against the straight red card he received in last Sunday's drawn Ulster Club Football final against Ballinderry. The Ulster Council last night decided to downgrade the punishment to a yellow card, which means McEntee can play in Sunday's replay at Brewster Park.
McEntee was dismissed by referee Martin Sludden after being judged to have elbowed Ballinderry's Darren Conway, but after reviewing evidence presented by Crossmaglen last night, the Ulster Council decided the incident did not merit the red card, which would have seen McEntee banned for the replay, had the appeal failed.
