Barring a successful appeal, Wexford's Aidan Nolan will be forced to sit out Sunday's Leinster SHC final against Kilkenny.
Nolan was sent off in the closing stages of the Round Five draw between the same two sides at Wexford Park last Sunday week and was cited by Fergal Horgan for using abusive language towards a referee.
He was slapped with a two-match ban by the CCCC but requested a hearing before the Central Hearings Committee, who yesterday found the alleged infraction proven. This makes the Bunclody man ineligible for this weekend's provincial decider as well as the Model County's ensuring All-Ireland semi-final or quarter-final.
A further appeal to the Central Appeals Committee looks inevitable.
