A 96-week ban for the individual involved in an incident with referee Kevin Naughton has been recommended by the Roscommon Competitions Control Committee.
Naughton had been hospitalised due to the incident which occurred during an under-17 meeting of St. Aidan’s and St. Dominic’s in Ballyforan.
All GAA games in Roscommon were postponed on the weekend of 16-18 September after referees withdrew their services in protest.

The individual concerned, or his club St Aidan's, can choose to contest the proposed suspension, which is the minimum suggested under GAA rules for a repeat offence of 'Any type of assault on a Referee, Umpire, Linesman or Sideline Official.' A first offence carries a minimum suspension of 48 weeks.
