Bonner suspended by club

July 04, 2009
Ciaran Bonner's football career hangs in the balance after his club suspended him for the rest of the season for indiscipline. Bonner and his Donegal and Glenswilly colleague Neil Gallagher were axed from the county panel by manager John Joe Doherty on Tuesday for breaches of discipline. Now Glenswilly, who are managed by former All-Ireland winning forward Barry O'Hagan, have taken a similarly hard line with Bonner, while Gallagher has been warned about his future behaviour. Gallagher, who captained Donegal to their only National League title two years ago, was injured in a club game a fortnight ago and would not have been fit enough to line out for Donegal in their All-Ireland qualifier against Carlow this evening. Bonner, however, was expected to start the Ballybofey tie. Former county player Colin Kelly was also suspended by Glenswilly for the remainder of the year.
