Orchard pair hit with bans

by JP Lonergan , 17 February 2012

Armagh footballers Ciaran McKeever and Malachy Mackin have been handed suspensions and will miss their county's Allianz Football League Division One encounter with Mayo on March 3.


The penalties come after ugly scenes marred unbeaten Armagh's opening day draw with Cork a fortnight ago.

A melee ensued shortly after the Rebels' Paul Kerrigan was sent off, with McKeever and Mackin now having been punished for their roles in the row.

Both counties, meanwhile, have been fined €5,000 each by the Central
Competitions Control Committee.

Paddy O'Rourke's Armagh defeated Kerry in Tralee in their second game a week after the Cork draw, while, 24 hours later, Conor Counihan's Rebels put four goals past Down in their first win of the season.
