WEXFORD’S ANDREW SHORE will be available to play this year after his 48-week ban for lining out for a British team last October was overturned by the GAA’s Reinstatement Committee last night in Cavan.
The decision was made at the GAA’s Annual Congress and will be a huge relief to Shore and Wexford hurling boss Liam Dunne. Shore was a key defensive component when Wexford reached the All-Ireland quarter-finals last summer.
Shore 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, formerly of Davidstown-Courtnacuddy, plays his club football and hurling with Parnells in Dublin.
I remember watching the 1978 World Cup, held in Argentina. The man seemed to be smoking for 90 minutes of each game. To make it to 46 years later is some achievement. Great team, great World Cup. RIP Cesar
1978 was the best World Cup,
What a career, Rip.
