Enda Muldoon is to miss Derry's football championship qualifier against Kildare tomorrow as a result of his sending off against Donegal on May 28th.

The central disciplinary committee handed Muldoon a four-week suspension for striking Donegal's Paddy Campbell, in what video evidence showed was an act of retaliation. Campbell will not face any sanctions. If Derry win at Celtic Park, Muldoon could miss round three of the qualifiers as they are pencilled in for July 15th - 24 hours before his suspension ends.

The GAC have granted Tyrone's request to bring forward the second round qualifier against Laois in O'Moore Park on July 8th to 5.30pm. The hurling qualifier between Laois and Waterford, also in Portlaoise, will now throw in at 3.45pm.
