Mayo's Lee Keegan has had his red card from last Sunday's  drawn All-Ireland semi-final against Kerry rescinded and is now free to line out in the replay.

The defender was sent off by referee David Coldrick just before the end of the first half for appearing to kick out at Kerry's Johnny Buckley. The official deemed that the offence was an attempted kick and issued a red card.

Keegan took his case to the Central Hearing Committee tonight, and they decided that the incident was not worthy of a red card.

Mayo delayed their team announcement to allow for Keegan's appeal and the two time All Star will now be included in the team for the rematch in the Gaelic Grounds.
