Wexford manager Davy Fitzgerald has been successful in his appeal against a 12-week ban, which has been reduced to just four weeks.

Referee Cathal McAllister alleged in his report following the Wexford v. Galway NHL quarterfinal that he was verbally abused by Fitzgerald.

The former Waterford and Clare manager was subsequently hit with a 12-week ban from Croke Park’s CCCC.

If upheld, the suspension would have seen Fitzgerald banned from the sideline for the majority of the championship.

However, the reduction to four weeks frees Fitzgerald to take the line when Wexford meet Dublin in the Leinster SHC opener at Parnell Park on Sunday, May 19th.
