Déise’s Maurice Shanahan free to face the Banner after red card

Maurice Shanahan is available to Waterford for Sunday’s Munster SHC clash with Clare despite being sent off in the county’s last competitive game.

The Lismore man is up for selection even though he was shown a red card in the Déise’s Division 1A relegation play-off defeat to Cork in March.

Shanahan was dismissed just 20 seconds after coming on in Páirc Uí Rinn for striking Cork defender Tim O’Mahoney. Twelve months previous, he had also been sent off in their Division 1A meeting in Walsh Park for an off-the-ball incident involving Dean Brosnan, which saw him banned for one match.
