Dublin's Crummey to miss All-Ireland semi-final
Chris Crummey makes his way off the Croke Park pitch after being shown a red card during his team's win against Limerick last week [Getty Images] Dublin's Chris Crummey looks certain to miss next Saturday's All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship semi-final against Cork at Croke Park. The team captain was sent off in the 15th minute of his team's shock victory against Limerick during last Saturday's quarter-final for a high challenge on Gearoid Hegarty and was handed a one-game ban. Advertisement "Striking with elbow, with minimal force" is deemed a red card offence and carries with it a suspension for the next game under Rule 7.2 (b). On Thursday it was confirmed the Lucan man was unsuccessful in an appeal to the Central Hearings Committee on Wednesday evening, but he does have the option to take the matter to the Appeals Committee if he wishes to pursue the matter. Crummey's red card came when Limerick led by two, but the Dubs produced a stirring display thereafter, aided by second-half goals by John Hetherton and Cian O'Sullivan, to turn the championship on its head. Dublin will head into next weekend's semi-final against Munster champions and All-Ireland favourites Cork with confidence, but now almost certainly without their captain following his unsuccessful appeal.

Inside Gearoid Hegarty's life off the pitch following Limerick loss
All Star hurler Gearoid Hegarty dropped to the ground after being hit with an elbow on Saturday during the Limerick to Dublin clash, resulting in Dublin being a man down for most of the All Ireland Senior Hurling quarter-final. The elbow came from Dublin captain Chris Crummey inside the first 15 minutes, with the red card offence making it a game of 15 versus 14 for most of the game. Unfortunately, Hegarty and his team were unable to use the extra player to their advantage, with two second-half goals from Dublin proving they were well up for the challenge.
