Waterford GAA to contest Conor Gleeson red card on a technicality

The delay in issuing the card to Gleeson is believed to form the basis of Waterford's challenge

Waterford are hoping a technicality may see Conor Gleeson avoid missing Saturday’s All-Ireland SHC quarter-final against Tipperary.

The Déise defender was shown a red card by referee Seán Stack before the start of the second half in last weekend’s All-Ireland qualifier following an incident involving Joe Canning close to the end of the first period.
