Mark O’Connor has apologised to his Geelong employers for lining out for Dingle in last month’s Kerry SFC quarter-final win over Austin Stacks. O’Connor was not granted permission to play for his home club in a game in which he was black carded. According to the report in Australia, the Geelong Cats only became aware of the matter days after the game. [quote]We (told Mark we) cannot provide permission for you to play in further Gaelic football games as it's a breach to his contract. [/quote]"To Mark's credit, he acknowledged Geelong was his main priority and that he wouldn't do it again."
