Kerry captain Darragh Ó Sé will be available for the All-Ireland semi-final against Cork after escaping a ban for a recent sending off in a club match.

Ó Sé was sent off eight minutes into the match between An Ghaeltacht (his club) and Austin Stacks in Dingle last Sunday.

He received a straight red card - which usually carries the automatic four-week suspension - for an incident that was reported to have occurred off the ball.

The General Purposes Committee of the Kerry County Board said tonight the player would not be banned.
