Caffrey gets one-match ban

Dublin manager Paul Caffrey will serve a one-match touchline ban at the start of next year's championship.

Dublin manager Paul Caffrey will serve a one-match touchline ban at the start of next year's championship.

The suspension arises from Caffrey's altercation with Mayo selector John Morrison before the start of the recent All-Ireland football semi-final between the two counties.

Morrison received no such suspension but was ticked off for leaving his seat in the stands late in the game to encourage the Mayo support to become more vocal.

The GAA's Central Disciplinary Committee also fined the Dublin County board a total of €1100 for breaching three-match day regulations.

The Dublin team were fined for taking to the Croke Park pitch late, linking arms during the national anthem and using four water carriers.
