Tipperary’s Séamus Callanan has been cleared by the GAA’s Central Appeals Committee to play for the county in Sunday’s hurling league semi-final against Waterford.

The current All Star full forward had been suspended for a red card shown in last month’s quarter-final against Offaly.

Initially the county said that they would not challenge the one-match suspension for striking but it has emerged that an appeal had been taken and last night it was granted.
