Antrim hurling boss Davy Fitzgerald has been handed an eight-week ban for comments he made after his side’s defeat by Galway in the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship earlier this month.

Fitzgerald criticised officials after Declan McCloskey was sent off for an off-the-ball incident in the game in Salthill, which Antrim lost by 28 points.

The former Clare and Wexford boss was subsequently charged by the GAA with “misconduct considered to have discredited the association”.

At a hearing on Friday, which was requested by Fitzgerald, the Central Hearings Committee (CHC) upheld the infraction and handed him an eight-week suspension.

Fitzgerald has the option of appealing the decision.

The ban came into effect from the date of the hearing (29 May).

Antrim suffered relegation from Leinster to the Joe McDonagh Cup for the 2026 season with last week’s defeat by Offaly.

Following the game, Fitzgerald said he needed time before making a decision on his Antrim future. He took over as boss last year following Darren Gleeson’s departure.
