THERE’S BAD NEWS for Tyrone and Donegal coffers this afternoon with confirmation of heavy punishments for the county boards.
Each board has been slapped with a €5000 fine following the controversial Ulster SFC preliminary round clash in Ballybofey on 17 May.
Tyrone assistant boss Gavin Devlin has also been informed that he’s facing a proposed eight-week ban after a scuffle broke out as the teams made their way to the dressing-rooms at half-time.

If the Red Hands decide not to appeal, Devlin will be absent from the touchline alongside manager Mickey Harte when Tyrone begin their All-Ireland qualifier campaign on 27 June.
The good news for Harte and his Donegal counterpart Rory Gallagher is that no player from either side has received a disciplinary sanction.
Tyrone and Donegal’s county boards have the option to appeal the punishments handed down.
