Clare to contest Munster final suspensions

Donal Moloney has confirmed he and David Reidy will contest their proposed suspensions in front of the Central Hearings Committee (CHC) in Croke Park this Saturday.

Clare will use video evidence to argue their point that the red card handed to Reidy by referee James Owens in Cusack Park last Sunday was wrong, while Moloney will try and prove that he was not guilty of minor interference with linesman Johnny Murphy and the Tipperary management on the sideline in Thurles the previous weekend.

As it stands, Reidy will miss out on Sunday week’s Munster final against Cork in Semple Stadium because of a one-match ban for striking with minimal force and Moloney is understood to be facing a recommended ban of at least three months.
