Derry star Eoin Bradley could be hit with a 48-week ban after he allegedly struck a referee following his club Glenullin's exit from the Derry SFC on Saturday evening.

If the highly-rated forward is found guilty of such an offence, he will miss Derry's entire 2011 campaign and will join his older brother Paddy on the sidelines after he announced his retirement from inter-county football earlier this year.

Glenullin lost to Ballinascreen by 3-2 to 1-7 and immediately after the final whistle, Bradley was alleged to have punched Dungiven referee Declan O'Connor in the face as he made his way to the dressing room at O'Brien Park in Foreglen.

The Derry county board are awaiting the referee's report before deciding what course of action to take. Tweet
