Hull half-back Sneyd is hit by two-match ban
Tuesday 23 June 2015 18:30, UK
Hull half-back Marc Sneyd has been handed a two-match ban after being found guilty of a dangerous tackle on Leeds scrum-half Danny McGuire.
Sneyd was charged with a grade D offence by the Rugby Football League's match review panel but that was down-graded by an independent disciplinary tribunal to grade C when he appeared in front of them on Tuesday evening.
The suspension rules the former Salford and Castleford player out of Hull's return clash with Leeds in the Challenge Cup quarter-final at the KC Stadium on Friday as well as next Wednesday's re-arranged league game at Wakefield.
McGuire will also set to sit out the Cup tie but scans have cleared him of a broken ankle following the incident that happened during Sunday's 32-20 Super League defeat at Headingley.
McGuire said on his Twitter account: "Thanks for all the messages nice and not so nice! Ankle's pretty sore still but no long-term damage! It's ankle I broke in 2013 so pretty protective of it."
