They are now set to miss next Sunday\u2019s tie at home to Kildare in Omagh as Tyrone go in search of their first victory in this year\u2019s league.<\/p>\n
The All-Ireland winners saw the players sent-off, along with Armagh\u2019s Gregory McCabe, by referee David Gough towards the end of the recent tie after a melee had occurred.<\/p>\n
The players were sent to the line for contributing to a melee. They do now have the option of going to the Central Appeals Committee (CAC) in an attempt to have the suspension overturned.<\/p>\n
Speaking yesterday at a separate press event before the hearing took place, Hampsey expressed surprise at the division of the red cards.<\/p>\n
