Ollie Canning: Tribe won’t gripe over Austin Gleeson’s availability

Four-time All-Star defender Ollie Canning has insisted there’ll be no gripes in Galway if Austin Gleeson is the player that masterminds an All-Ireland hurling final win for Waterford.

Gleeson seemed likely to face disciplinary action, and a potential one-match ban, after pulling Cork forward Luke Meade’s helmet off his head during the Déise’s semi-final win earlier this month.

But referee James Owens stated in his official report that he was satisfied with his handling of the game, tying the hands of disciplinary chiefs who were reportedly frustrated at not being able to intervene.
