Members of the GAA's Central Competitions Control Committee are, apparently, none too pleased about how the Austin Gleeson helmet grab incident has panned out.

Darren Frehill of RTE Sport is reporting that the CCCC believes the Mount Sion clubman had a case to answer after he pulled Luke Meade's helmet off during the first-half of last weekend's 4-19 to 0-20 penultimate stage victory over Cork.

The Hurler of the Year faced missing out on the Deise's first All-Ireland final appearance in nine years but it emerged yesterday that he will face no sanction.

The disciplinary body's hands were tied after referee James Owens informed its members that he was satisfied with his handling of the game.
