Russell to referee Orchard clash

Paul Galvin is shown a second yellow card by Paddy Russell
Galvin reacted after being shown a second yellow by Paddy Russell

Controversial referee Paddy Russell will take charge of the All-Ireland SFC quarter-final between Armagh and Wexford at Croke Park on Saturday.

It will be the Tipperary official's first top game since he sent off Kerry's Paul Galvin on 15 June.

The Kingdom star is serving a three-month ban for slapping the notebook out of Russell's hand after receiving a second yellow card.

Pat McEnaney will referee the Cork v Kildare quarter-final on Sunday.

Galvin's original six-month suspension was halved by the GAA's Central Hearings Committee last week.
