GALWAY's Cianan Fahy, Clare's Peter Duggan, Rory Hayes will be allowed to play in their All-Ireland SHC quarterfinals against Wexford and Cork on Saturday next week.
The players did not accept proposed suspensions handed down by the GAA's Central Competitions Controls Committee (CCCC) and have now been given all clear to play by a Central Hearings Committee (CHC) on Wendsday evening.
Duggan and Hayes' incidents meant both were looking at a one-match ban after the Munster final against their neighbours Limerick. The pair appeared before the CHC, where the proposed ban was overturned.
