Cork and Armagh suspensions after mass brawl
Cork and Armagh have had suspensions and both county boards fined €5,000 following the mass brawl at the the Athletic Grounds a fortnight ago.
Cork's Michael Shields faces a two-match ban and Pearse O'Neill has been banned for one match.
Armagh duo Malachy Mackin and Ciaran McKeever have both been handed one-match bans.
Cork selector Ger O'Sullivan has expressed surprise at the CCCC's decision. He told the Irish Examiner: "Okay, maybe they want to stamp out this pushing and shoving but I have seen it on DVD and I would be very surprised if anything came of it.
Armagh fought back to earn a draw against 14-man Cork in the Allianz Football League Division 1 clash at the Morgan Athletic Grounds on Sun 5 feb 2012

Cavan county board raises doubts about Johnston’s residency
Cavan county board raises doubts about Johnston’s residency
SEANIE JOHNSTON’S PROPOSED inter-county transfer to Kildare failed again when the Cavan county board raised doubts about the forward’s eligibility for a move.
Cavan said that they are “unable to assist” with Johnston’s switch to Kildare as “they believe there is a doubt about compliance” with the GAA’s residency criteria for such transfers.

National Football League Monaghan 0-17 Kildare 0-12 Sun 12 Feb 2012
More ugly scenes with a mass brawl and scuffle just before half time.
Players and team officials got involved with pushing and shoving and punches thrown, with the row continuing into the tunnel.Suprisingly only 3 yellow cards and one red issued for the brawl.
Referee Joe McQuillan consulted with his umpires before brandishing a red card to Kildare defender Brian Flanagan ahead of the start of the second half, while his team-mate Padraig O'Neill and Monaghan duo Dick Clerkin and Dessie Mone both received yellows.
The melee which ensued broke up initially but continued after the half-time whistle in the tunnel.
It was of a serious nature and something which has become far too commonplace in GAA circles.
