Clare senior hurling captain Tony Kelly will miss this Sunday’s National Hurling League meeting with Kilkenny in Cusack Park.
The GAA decided tonight (Thursday) to uphold the Ballyea man’s red card he picked up last Saturday early in the second half against Tipperary.
Kelly was sent off my referee Colm Lyons for an alleged high challenge on full back Padraic Maher.
The decision means he will serve a one match suspension missing the Kilkenny game but will be available to face Cork in Pairc Ui Chaoimh on February 16th.
The GAA has upheld Tony Kelly's red card which he picked up against Tipperary last weekend. The decision to reject Clare's appeal against the decision was made by the CHC. Tony will now miss Sunday's clash with Kilkenny but will be available to play against Cork in two weeks. pic.twitter.com/LxnbbPddhx
