Down U21 Star Conor Garvey gets suspended

23 April 2008

The Central Competitions Control Committee has issued an eight-week ban to Down’s Conor Garvey arising from an incident in last Saturday’s All-Ireland under 21 football semi-final at Navan.

Video evidence was used by the CCCC to punish the Mourne County half back for an incident that left Kildare centre back and captain Gary Whyte nursing a sore neck. Garvey had already been issued with a yellow card by Galway referee Pat McGovern who consulted with the CCCC on the Whyte incident.
