Galvin blow as appeal is rejected

Kerry captain Paul Galvin must serve a six-month suspension after his appeal against the punishment was turned down by the Central Appeals Committee.

Galvin had already failed earlier this week to get his ban, which will run from 15 June, reduced.

The suspension 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.
