Dublin's Cormac Costello reacts after he was shown a red card near the end of the Leinster SFC final win over Meath at Croke Park last Saturday. Photo by Ray McManus/SportsfileCormac Costello has been cleared to play in Dublin’s All-Ireland SFC semi-final against Cavan on Saturday week. The Dublin forward was facing suspension after his red card cameo against Meath, but Independent.ie has learned that his sending-off was rescinded by the Central Hearings Committee last night. The super-sub’s latest audition off the bench took a calamitous return towards the end of last Saturday’s Leinster final when he was dismissed by Derek O’Mahoney. While it was extremely rare for a player to be red-carded in such fashion, the decision left Costello facing suspension at the worst possible time barring a successful foray to the CHC.
