The red card handed out to Kilkenny's Jonjo Farrell in the 25th minute of the recent Division 1A defeat to Dublin has been rescinded.
Farrell has been cleared of any wrong doing after successfully challenging his sending-off by referee Colm Lyons during the 3-11 to 0-25 defeat.
A statement released today by the Central Hearings Committee explains: "Seán Seosamh Ó Fearail was ordered off for striking with his hurley with minimal force.
"A Hearing was requested as he chose not to accept the proposed penalty.
"On the basis of the video evidence provided, the Hearings Committee found that the Infraction was not proven and directed that the Disciplinary Action be at an end."
The ruling means the player is eligible to line out against Galway this weekend.
