Ban appeal sees Butler boost Glenanne hopes

THE will-he-won’t he saga of Glenanne’s Stephen Butler’s participation in today’s cup semi-final against Harlequins ended yesterday when the player’s appeal against a one-match ban was lodged with the IHA.

Butler is now free to line out for the Tallaght outfit, who are bidding to win the cup for the first time since 2001.

But coach Noel Keogh says his side face a difficult task.
