Call for common sense on Shore ban appeal

Wexford hurler Andrew Shore will have his appeal against a 48-week suspension handed down by Warwickshire GAA heard on January 24.

Shore was hit by the ban after playing for Birmingham club Roger Casements last October. But the former Davidstown-Courtnacuddy man, now playing with Parnells in Dublin, will travel to Newcastle for a hearing.

He believed all of the necessary documentation was in order for the weekend pass. Wexford manager Liam Dunne said: “I’m just hoping someone, somewhere along the line will allow some commonsense to prevail.”
