Mayo handed boost ahead of Dublin showdown after defender wins red card appeal

The Westport club man will be free to play at Croke Park on 30 August.

KEVIN KEANE WILL be available for the All-Ireland football championship semi-final against Dublin on Sunday week after winning his red card appeal.

The Mayo footballer was given his marching orders in the closing stages of the quarter-final win over Donegal after striking Michael Murphy.

However, Keane appealed against the suspension and the GAA’s Central Hearings Committee subsequently downgraded his punishment to a yellow card during a disciplinary meeting on Wednesday evening.

Mayo face Dublin on Sunday 30 August at Croke Park in a repeat of the 2013 final. Throw-in is at 3.30pm.
