CORK FORWARD PAUL KERRIGAN is free to line out for the Rebels against Down tomorrow after his two-game ban was quashed last night.
Kerrigan’s case came before a disciplinary hearing in Croke Park last night who examined video evidence from last Sunday’s Division 1 game between Armagh and Cork and decided that the forward had no case to answer.
The Nemo Rangers man was shown a straight red card by referee Syl Doyle in last weekend’s drawn game for an attempted headbutt on Finian Moriarty.
Under the GAA’s new match-ban system, which is being trialled this season, Kerrigan was automatically suspended for Cork’s next two league games — against Down tomorrow and against Donegal on 4 March.
A one-line statement released by the Cork County Board this morning confirmed that Kerrigan is now eligible to play tomorrow.
