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.
