The Kerry county board has banned two supporters for life from attending county fixtures.

The bans were imposed following an incident in which referee Gearoid O'Regan was attacked at the county's recent SHC semi-final between Kilmoyley and Ballyduff.

In addition, one player, David Enright, has been expelled and four others - Declan Bowler, Kenneth Boyle, Anthony O'Grady and Mark Houlihan - have been given 96-week suspensions in light of the incident.

All of Ballyduff's senior teams have been banned from competition for the rest of the year, while the club has been issued with a fine of €2,000.
