WATERFORD STAR AUSTIN Gleeson has been cleared to play in Mount Sion’s county senior hurling championship quarter-final showdown on Sunday.
Mount Sion face city rivals De La Salle in Walsh Park, and looked to be facing into the all-important last eight clash without the 2016 Hurler and Young Hurler of the Year after Gleeson was shown a straight red card in last Sunday’s final group game against Roanmore.
25-year-old was given his marching orders by referee Thomas Walsh in the second minute for a challenge on Brian Nolan.
But Waterford Sport are reporting that his early red card was overturned last night after an appeal, for which video evidence was reviewed.
