JAMES HANNON could be forced to sit out almost all of the remainder of the point-to-point season after he was handed a suspension of 21 point-to-point race days at a sitting of the referrals committee last week.

They met to consider a referral into an incident which took place after the final race in Kildorrery on February 19th, where the reigning southern champion was involved in an altercation with another rider after crossing the line.
