Cathal Dunbar, Naomh Eanna, has been cleared to play in today’s Pettitts Senior Hurling County Final.

The Gorey man receieved a straight red card in the semi-final against Oylegate- Glenbrien and was expected to serve an automatic one match ban which meant he would miss the today’s county final.

The Disputes Resolution Authority met last night, and having considered the case, “the Tribunal held that it should seek a clarification from the referee. Pending receipt of the clarification and of its decision in respect of the matter, the Tribunal held that Mr Dunbar should stand not suspended.”
