Mullane fate remains undecided

THE FATE of Waterford All Star hurler John Mullane hung in the balance last night as County Board officials awaited a Croke Park communiqué concerning his availability for the August 8 All-Ireland semi-final.

The expectation was the GAC decision in the Mullane affair following his Munster final dismissal against Cork would have been conveyed to Waterford officials yesterday.

If the decision goes against Mullane and he is banned for one month and one match - the All-Ireland semi-final - he will lodge a formal appeal to Croke Park.
