ARMAGH are to appeal the suspensions handed out to three of their players in the wake of last Sunday’s brawl after their League match against Donegal in Letterkenny.

Stefan Campbell, Aidan Nugent and Ciaran Mackin were all hit with one-match bans after players from both sides became embroiled in bad-tempered scenes at O’Donnell Park and all three will miss the Ulster Championship quarter-final against Donegal in Ballybofey unless their appeals are successful.

Donegal’s Odhran McFadden-Ferry and Neil McGee were also given one-match bans and both counties had until yesterday evening to indicate that they intended to appeal to the Central Hearings Committee.
