The GAA's Central Hearings Committee has upheld a 24-week suspension handed down to Kerry captain Paul Galvin.

Galvin attended the committee meeting on Monday night at Croke Park but was unsuccessful in having his ban, which will run from 15 June, reduced.

The ban follows Galvin's dismissal in the recent Munster SFC semi-final victory over Clare.

The wing-forward slapped the notebook out of referee Paddy Russell's hand after receiving a second yellow card.

He then remonstrated with the linesman.

Galvin apologised for the incidents but the Central Competitions Control Committee proposed the long ban.

He will now miss Kerry's entire All-Ireland campaign.
