Donegal manager Jim McGuinness during the Bank of Ireland Dr McKenna Cup Group A match against Tyrone
Jim McGuinness has been cleared from the proposed eight-week ban for Donegal fielding an ineligible player in the Dr McKenna Cup.
McGuinness has challenged the proposed eight-week suspension, handed down for fielding an ineligible player in last week’s Dr McKenna Cup win over Armagh in Ballybofey. Finbarr Roarty, a 17-year-old, played for Donegal in the 3-16 to 1-6 win at Sean MacCumhaill Park.
Donegal take on Monaghan in the Dr McKenna Cup semi-final on Sunday at Castleblayney and McGuinness will be on the sidelines after taking the case to the Ulster Hearings committee.
“Following a request by Jim McGuinness to the Ulster Hearings committee, the County secretary has been informed that the alleged infraction was not proven, and that no further disciplinary action is to be taken,” reads a statement from Donegal GAA. “We can now look forward to our Mc Kenna cup semi-final against Monaghan on Sunday.”
