Paul Mannion free to play Kildare on Sunday after Dublin star has red card squashed

Paul Mannion will be free to play in the Leinster Senior Football Championship clash between Dublin and Kildare on Sunday after having his recent red card overturned.

Forward Paul Mannion was sent off in the 25th minute of the dominant quarter-final win over Louth after catching Conal McKeever with his shoulder.

And after Dublin appealed the call, the Central Hearings Committee ruled today that the alleged infraction of "behaving in a way which is dangerous to an opponent" couldn't be proven.

Dubs boss Jim Gavin was vocal about his displeasure with the decision after the game, and now will have Mannion available for the Kildare game.

Meanwhile, Brendan Donaghy won't be available for Armagh's Ulster semi-final replay with Cavan after having his red card from the first game for an off the ball incident upheld.
