Kealy has suspension lifted just in time

DUNSHAUGHLIN captain Aidan Kealy has been given a last minute reprieve by Croke Park’s GAC to play in Sunday’s AIB All-Ireland club SFC semi final against Crossmolina.

Kealy received a six months suspension term for allegedly pushing a linesman in his club’s game in the Kilmacud Crokes All-Ireland Sevens in September, causing him to miss the semi final and final of the Meath SFC and the club’s historic Leinster championship campaign.

However, as a result of new information furnished in an affidavit, the suspension was lifted at this week’s meeting of the GAC at Croke Park making him eligible for selection on Sunday.
