As a result of their scrap in Clones on Sunday, both Monaghan and Kildare have been fined €5,000 by the CCCC. The row, which resulted in Brian Flanagan being sent off, also included a push on Kieran McGeeney in the tunnel as both teams went in for the half-time break. The size of the fines show that Croke Park are growing tired of off the ball scraps, however both counties are set to appeal the decision.
