Tipperary to appeal Jason Forde suspension over Davy Fitzgerald row

Tipperary have confirmed that they will appeal against Jason Forde’s one-match suspension, which currently rules the Silvermines player out of the Munster SHC quarter-final against Cork on Sunday week.

And captain Pádraic Maher has revealed the squad’s determination to right the wrongs from their recent Allianz League final hammering by Galway.

Forde had a proposed two-match ban handed down for his league semi-final clash with Wexford boss Davy Fitzgerald reduced to one game by the GAA’s Central Hearings Committee. But Tipp will bring their case to the next level, the Central Appeals Committee, as they look to have the versatile former minor and U21 captain freed to play.
