Tipperary boss Liam Cahill hit with proposed four-week suspension

Tipperary GAA are considering whether to accept or challenge a proposed four-week suspension for hurling manager Liam Cahill.

The Tipp boss was clearly animated by the decision to award Limerick a sideline ball in injury-time and vented his frustration towards match officials.

The Central Competitions Control Committee has now proposed a four-week ban, which if accepted would prevent Cahill from any direct involvement with the team during the suspension period – which would include Sunday’s round five clash with Waterford and also a potential Munster decider against Clare on June 11th.

Rule 7.5 (a) (6) (b) states: “In the case of a team official, from acting in any capacity at a game(s) in a specified competition, including extra-time when played.
