Wicklow manager McConville handed four-week ban for 'abusive language towards referee'

The incident took place at weekend’s Division 3 league match against Sligo.

WICKLOW FOOTBALL MANAGER Oisín McConville has been handed a four-week ban for “abusive language towards a referee”.

The Central Competitions Control Committee took disciplinary action against McConville for verbally abusing Tyrone referee Kieran Eanetta at last weekend’s Division 3 league match against Sligo.

Wicklow lost on a scoreline of 2-10 to 1-11 at Markievicz Park, having previously been defeated by Down. 

The Armagh All-Ireland winner requested a hearing, which took place on Wednesday, where it was found that the infraction had been proven and a penalty was imposed.

McConville has the option to appeal, but if unsuccessful in his efforts, the Crossmaglen man will miss the upcoming games against Westmeath and Clare.
