Down's Brendan McArdle has successfully appealed his dismissal against Roscommon in the Division 2 final while there were mixed fortunes for Monaghan pair Kieran Hughes and Dessie Mone and Armagh's Finian Moriarty.

The GAA's Central Hearings Committee has exonerated the Mourne County centre-back who was controversially sent off in the first-half of the 0-15 to 1-17 loss to the primrose and blues while they also rescinded the black card Hughes was shown during the 11-point round 7 defeat to Dublin.

There was no joy, however, for Mone who also picked up a black card in that heavy loss while Moriarity was unsuccessful in appealing his black card from the Division 3 final success over Fermanagh.
