Fri, Mar 05, 2010
Mark Ronaldson has had his appeal against his four week suspension imposed by the CCC turned down. The Shrule Glencorrib club man had a hearing on Wednesday night against his retrospective red card from the Tyrone game. While there are further avenues for appeal open to Ronaldson, there was no decision made at the time this paper went to press. As it stands Ronaldson will miss the game against Dublin on Sunday and next Saturday night’s game away to Derry as his ban will only expire at midnight that night.
