Dublin weigh up options as Chris Crummey ban upheld for All-Ireland semi-final against Cork
Dublin will consider another attempt to quash Chris Crummey's one-match suspension ruling him out of Saturday's All-Ireland SHC semi-final against Cork after the penalty was upheld on Wednesday.
The Central Hearings Committee (CHC) adjudged that referee Liam Gordon was correct to dismiss the Dublin captain for his foul on Limerick's Gearóid Hegarty in the first half of last Saturday's All-Ireland quarter-final win.
The CHC found that the infraction 'striking with elbow, with minimal force' was proven and therefore Crummey was dismissed. Dublin can now contest that decision in front of the GAA's Central Appeals Committee.
Meanwhile, seven additional trains have been made available from or to Cork for the semi-final clash on July 5.
Three will leave the city's Kent Station for Dublin's Heuston Station at 10am, 11am and 12pm with another departing Mallow for Heuston at 9.20am. Returning, the extra trains are timed at 8.15pm, 8.45pm and 9.35pm.
Cork councillor and GAA commentator Patrick Mulcahy welcomed the additional transport services for the game. 'I would like to personally thank the staff at Iarnród Éireann for putting on these special trains for the Cork fans.
'Without the Cork fans this year, the Munster championship would have been nowhere as enjoyable to watch all because of the atmosphere the Cork fans bring to these games. I am sure Saturday week will be very much similar as the Cork fans roll into the capital to take on Dublin in the semi-final'.

Watch: GAA Preview – All-Ireland quarter-final weekend could be the highlight of the summer
Each game has the potential to be a thriller, but Armagh v Kerry on Sunday attracts the biggest spotlight with a repeat of last year's All-Ireland semi-final. The action begins with Donegal facing Monaghan, with Jim McGuinness's men dealing with a tight six-day turnaround, before Tyrone and Dublin renew old rivalries on Saturday evening. Meath have already taken the scalps of Kerry and Dublin this year and have, somewhat surprisingly, flown under the radar into the quarter-finals, but they face another difficult test against Galway in the opening game on Sunday. Conor McKeon and Michael Verney preview all the action.
