Brian Cody is free to oversee the start of Kilkenny’s National League campaign after it was confirmed that he will not face any further sanction for his sending off during the Walsh Cup final defeat to Wexford at the weekend.
Leinster GAA said the incident was dealt with sufficiently by match referee John O’Brien, which means the Kilkenny manager will be in charge of his side’s opener against Cork on Saturday.
“The matter is deemed to have been dealt with by the referee on match day and there is no further action,” a statement from the Leinster Council said.
Cody was sent to the stands after debating the sending off of Kilkenny player, Richie Reid, with the linesman. Had he been charged with abusive language towards an official, a minimum four-week ban would have applied.
