FINES handed down to Kerry and Donegal GAA have been reduced from €7,500 to €5,000.
The fines were incurred following the Allianz National League encounter between the two sides which was marred by a number of scuffles.
Last night, both county boards went before the Central Hearings Committee (CHC) and were successful in reducing the fines levied by the Central Competition Controls Committee (CCCC).
Scenes from the match in Austin Stack Park were broadcast live and provoked criticism, particularly footage involving Donegal full back, Neil McGee and Kerry’s Alan Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald was red-carded and McGee subsequently received a one match ban for the incident, which he would have missed in any case because of a broken nose sustained from Fitzgerald’s retaliation.
Donegal & Kerry’s proposed fines reduced to €5k. Both accepted responsibility at Central Hearings Committee last night #GAA #Sportlive
