Fury over Mullane ban

RAGE swept through Waterford Gaeldom yesterday at the 12-week suspension handed down to county hurling star John Mullane by the Games Administration Committee.

The lengthy suspension means Mullane will miss the remainder of the National League campaign as well as Waterford’s first round Munster championship game against Kerry at Walsh Park on May 18.

The only bright spot is that the suspension expires on the eve of the June 1 Munster championship semi-final against Limerick should Waterford confirm first round favouritism.
