A RAFT of suspensions for Mountbellew/Moylough players has been proposed by Connacht Council's Competitions Control Committee after the scenes which marked the end of their Connacht club SFC semi-final defeat to Padraig Pearses last month.
Referee Jerome Henry has stated in his match report that he was physically assaulted by two players, and verbally abused by four others.
