The eight Cork and Clare hurlers facing one month bans will have to wait until tomorrow lunchtime to learn if their appeals to the GAA's Central Hearings Committee (CHC) have been successful.
The players involved - Donal Óg Cusack, Seán Óg Ó hAilpín, Diarmuid O'Sullivan and John Gardiner from Cork and Colin Lynch, Alan Markham, Barry Nugent and Andrew Quinn from Clare - are appealing the proposed suspensions at Croke Park this evening but no outcome will be released until tomorrow.
The one-month suspension proposed last week by the Competitions Control Committee (CCC) would, if applied, rule the Cork players out of their Munster hurling semi-final against Waterford on Sunday week and the Clare players out of their first All-Ireland qualifier on June 30th, as the suspensions also carry an automatic one-match ban.
The Cork and Clare County Boards also face €5,000 fines for their role in the incidents which provided an ugly prelude to the Munster hurling championship.
