The Central Hearing Committee have opted not to impose any punishment on Crossmaglen following their All-Ireland semi-final defeat to Castlebar Mitchels last month.

An investigation was launched into the game, which took place at Kingspan Breffni Park on February 13, after a number of incidents in the closing stages leading the CCCC to fine the club €1,000.

However, it has since been confirmed that the CHC has ruled in favour of the Ulster champions following an appeal.

"An Lár Choiste Cheannais na gComórtaisí (Central Competitions Control Committee) instituted Disciplinary Action against Raonaithe na Crosie CLG alleging a breach of 7.2 (d) (3) that is to say "Disruptive Conduct at Games by Players and Team Officials (not causing the Premature Termination of a Game)," read a statement.

"Raonaithe na Crosie CLG requested a Hearing which took place on 23ú Márta. An Lár Choiste Éisteachta (Central Hearings Committee) found the Infraction alleged was not proven and ordered the Disciplinary Action to be at an end."
