Galway's Emma Helebert cannot be sanctioned for off the ball incident

The defender will escape punishment for her strike on Tipperary’s Eimear Loughman that led to Galway corner-back Dervla Higgins being red-carded at the end of Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final

Orla O'Dwyer of Tipperary in action against Emma Helebert of Galway in Sunday's All-Ireland camogie championship semi-final.

Galway centre-back Emma Helebert will not miss Sunday week’s All-Ireland senior camogie final as the Camogie rulebook does not allow for retrospective citation.

Whereas the GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee has the power to cite a player whose infraction was inadequately dealt with by match officials for whatever reason, the same practice does not exist within the game of camogie and so Helebert will escape punishment for her strike on Tipperary’s Eimear Loughman that led to Galway corner-back Dervla Higgins being red-carded at the end of Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final.
