Diarmuid O’Sullivan to learn ban fate

O’Sullivan could face up to a 12-week ban, which would prevent him from being available for Cork’s Munster SHC opener against Limerick at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on May 10.

Cork selector Diarmuid O’Sullivan will learn his fate in the next 48 hours after being sent to the stand by referee Seán Cleere at Páirc Uí Chaoimh yesterday.

His county’s maor foirne, the three-time All-Ireland-winning defender remonstrated with the match official after Shane Kingston wasn’t awarded a free in the first half of the defeat to Limerick and he is likely to be named in the Kilkenny referee’s report.
