Tipp to appeal Leahy ban

The Tipperary County Board are expected to launch an appeal against the eight-week ban which hurling selector John Leahy received on Tuesday night.

As things stand, Leahy will not be permitted to patrol the sideline for Tipp's three All-Ireland qualifiers and will also miss the All-Ireland quarter-finals and semi-finals should Babs Keating's side make it that far. His ban expires on August 20.
