The GAA has come down hard on Donegal and Tyrone following the half-time scuffle in Ballybofey last Sunday week while Red Hands assistant manager Gavin Devlin has been handed an eight-week ban.

Donegal and Tyrone have both been rapped on the knuckles in the shape of €5000 fines as a result of the unsavoury scenes that developed as both teams made their way to the dressingrooms during the half-time interval.

Devlin, meanwhile, has been handed a proposed eight-week ban which means he will be suspended for Tyrone's first round qualifier fixture on June 27.

Mickey Harte's right hand man and both county boards have the option of appealing against their respective punishments.
