Trial by TV on the way for O'Leary?

August 20, 2007

Cork defender Noel O'Leary
Cork footballer Noel O'Leary may miss out on next month's All-Ireland SFC final if the GAA take on board television evidence showing him landing a punch on Meath's Graham Geraghty. Referee Brian Crowe (Cavan) booked O'Leary after the incident with Geraghty but if the the Central Competitions Control Committee re-visits the incident and views video tape of the game, Crowe may be asked to re-consider whether his booking was appropriate. O'Leary has already been banned this year after the CCCC intervened after an incident involving Paul Galvin in the Munster final which was missed by the match referee.
