Limerick hurler Kyle Hayes has failed in his appeal against a district court conviction for dangerous driving.

He has been banned from driving for two years from 12 June and fined €250.

Last September, Mr Hayes, of Ballyashea, Kildimo, Co Limerick, was disqualified from driving for two years after he accepted he was driving at 155km/h in a 100km/h zone.

He appealed that conviction today, but his appeal was rejected.
