Conor Hayes hopeful Adrian Tuohy will escape punishment

Former Galway double All-Ireland winning captain Conor Hayes hopes Adrian Tuohy will be cleared to play in next month’s final.

Tuohy could be in trouble after television replays caught him catching the faceguard of Patrick Bonner Maher in the first half of Galway’s one-point victory over Tipperary in Croke Park.

Recently Waterford’s Tadhg de Búrca was banned after he interfered with the helmet of Wexford’s Harry Kehoe in the All-Ireland quarter-final, but Hayes doesn’t feel that the Beagh defender should suffer the same fate.
