Ulster Council decision due today on Donegal player eligibility

Donegal’s punishment  for playing 17 year old Finbarr Roarty in the win over Armagh in the Dr McKenna Cup is expected to be known today.

The Naomh Conaill corner back was under age at the time of the game last Wednesday and only turned 18 the day after the 16 point victory.

The Ulster Council could take the points off Donegal while handing suspensions to Jim McGuinness and Finbarr Roarty which could be as much as eight weeks for Manager McGuinness.

If that is the case, Donegal will find it difficult to make the McKenna Cup semi finals.

Donegal are expected to appeal the sanctions if handed out by Ulster.
