Neil McGee's appeal against his two-match ban has fallen on deaf ears.

The Central Hearings Committee has ruled against the Donegal defender and that means he will miss Saturday's Ulster SFC semi-final showdown against Monaghan as well as his side's next game in the championship.

The CHC released the following statement:

Hearing 1 of 1: Niall Mac aoidh

Competition: Ulster GAA Football Championship

Fixture: Dún na nGall v Fear Manach

Venue: Ballybofey

Data: 12ú Meitheamh

In relation to the above game, An Lár Choiste Cheannais na gComórtaisí (Central Competitions Control Committee) instituted Disciplinary Action against Niall Mac Aoidh alleging a breach of 7.2 (b) Category III (i) T.O 2016, that is to say "Striking with arm".

The player in question requested a Hearing which took place on 21ú Meitheamh. An Lár Choiste Éisteachta (Central Hearings Committee) found the Infraction proven and as this was a repeat Infraction, imposed a Two Match Suspension in the same Code and at the same Level applicable to the next games in the combination of the National League / Inter-County Senior Championship, even if one or both occur(s) in the following year.
