Corcoran all clear for Tipp

TIPPERARY’S Allstar defender Eamon Corcoran will be eligible to play in the Guinness All-Ireland hurling qualifier game against Galway on Sunday at Pearse Stadium.

The Games Administration Committee had been asked by Premier officials to fix the game for Sunday to facilitate Corcoran, whose controversial three-month suspension, ironically imposed by the GAC, ends at midnight on Saturday.

GAA bosses looked favourably on the request after the draws which pits Limerick against Offaly and Waterford against Wexford were made at Croke Park yesterday.
