Gaelic Games:Limerick county board has imposed the maximum ban of 96 weeks on the Dromcollogher-Broadford supporter who entered the pitch seconds from the end of last Sunday's drawn county football final and confronted a Newcastle West player as he was leaving the field after being shown a second yellow card.

Martin Stokes, father of Drom-Broadford player, Jason, was given the maximum ban after the local CCC reviewed the referee’s report and also pictures of the incident involving Newcastle West player James Kelly at the Gaelic Grounds.

Stokes has three days in which to lodge an appeal against the ban and otherwise he will not be allowed to attend the replay on Friday night (7.15pm) when spectators will only be allowed on the Mackey Stand.
