Mullane rules out court action after GAC suspension

WATERFORD hurler John Mullane has ruled out a High Court challenge to the one match suspension imposed on him by the Games Administration Committee of the GAA.

The decision means that the Allstar corner-forward, who was red carded in the Munster SHC final victory over Cork, will be ineligible to partake in the Guinness All-Ireland SHC semi-final on Sunday week.

In reaching their decision, the GAC rejected the contention of the Waterford County Board that the Munster championship and the All-Ireland series are different competitions.
