Seamus Callanan has red card appeal turned down

Tipperary hurler Seamus Callanan has had his appeal against the red card he received in last Sunday's Allianz League quarter-final win over Offaly turned down.

Centre forward Callanan found for net for Tipperary during their 1-16 to 0-13 win but was later sent off for an off the ball incident with Dermot Shott.

He will now miss his side’s league semi-final fixture against Waterford at Nowlan Park on Sunday April 19.

A GAA statement read: “In relation to the above game, Séamus Ó Ceallanáin was ordered off for striking with his hurley with minimal force.

“A Hearing was requested as he chose not to accept the proposed penalty. The Hearings Committee found that evidence provided was not sufficiently compelling to rebut the referee’s report therefore the Infraction was proven.

“A one match suspension in the same code and at the same level was imposed, applicable to the next game in the National League or Inter-County Senior Championship even if that game occurs in the following year.”

Cathal Barrett has also failed in his attempt to get his first yellow card in the same fixture rescinded - Barrett was subsequently sent off for a second booking.
