WEXFORD SENIOR HURLER Andrew Shore has received official confirmation from British GAA chiefs that he remains suspended for 48 weeks, The42.ie can reveal.
Shore travelled to Newcastle last Saturday to attend a hearing after he was slapped with the massive ban following a club outing with Birmingham outfit Roger Casements last October.
The Warwickshire county board imposed the suspension despite Shore’s belief that the necessary paperwork he required was in order.
Shore is ineligible to line out for club and county as things stand and the man who played with Dublin outfit Parnells last year is now preparing an appeal.
Shore received email correspondence from England last night, informing him that this was indeed the case.
The Provincial Council of Britain’s Hearings Committee informed Shore that he has three days to appeal and the frustrated former Davidstown-Courtnacuddy man told The42.ie this morning: “I had the hearing on Saturday and I was told that I was going to receive word the same day.
I didn’t hear anything until last night, when I received an email stating that the 48-week ban stood. I now have a period of three days in which to appeal, which I intend to do.
“As far as I was concerned, all of the paperwork was in order for the transfer. I wouldn’t have appealed unless I didn’t believe that this was the case.”
Wexford manager Liam Dunne is also protesting Shore’s innocence, stating recently: “Andrew was given a 48-week suspension and I’m just hoping that someone, somewhere along the line will allow some common sense to prevail.
“To get a 48-week ban for that, well someone along the line should look at it.”
If Shore is unsuccessful in his quest to get the ban overturned or reduced, he’s facing up to the prospect of playing no part in Wexford’s 2015 Allianz National League and championship campaigns.
The news comes on the same day that Wexford hurling fans are coming to terms with the retirement of Rossiter.
