Nifty 250 - Thu, Mar 4 - Ronaldson out for Dublin game; Warning over €50 notes; Mayo’s musical barber

Ronaldson suspended for glamour Dublin game

Castlebar's Neil Douglas may be in line for a dramatic call-up to the Mayo team for Sunday’s National League Division 1 match against Dublin.
John O’Mahony will probably choose between Douglas and Alan Freeman after Mark Ronaldson had his four week suspension upheld following a meeting of the Central Hearings Committee in Croke Park last night (Wednesday).
The Shrule/Glencorrib forward will also miss the away trip to Derry on Saturday, March 13. He has the right to appeal the decision but it seems unlikely this will happen.
