A criminal investigation is ongoing into an alleged assault at a Tyrone ladies GAA match last month.
Two men have been banned for life from attending Tyrone GAA ladies games and the Carrickmore club fined following a fracas at the Tyrone senior final.
One of the pair handed a lifetime ban was a member of the Carrickmore team management.
