Leinster CCC has decided not to take disciplinary action against Dublin's Diarmuid Connolly.

The Sky Blues attacker was in the dock after a stray knee appeared to make contact with Kildare full back Ciaran Fitzpatrick's head in an off-the-ball incident during the recent O'Byrne Cup semi-final.

A retrospective ban looked possible but Leinster chiefs studied footage of the incident last night and have opted not to charge Connolly with any wrong-doing.

This is the second time in recent months that the St Vincent's clubman has escaped a ban: he was cleared to play in last year's All-Ireland final against Kerry after having his semi-final red card rescinded. Tweet
