Jennings scored against Eastbourne while his appeal was being considered

Cambridge United defender James Jennings has won his appeal against a red card for handball.

The 22-year-old was given his marching orders in Saturday's 1-0 defeat by Mansfield after giving away a penalty, which Keigan Parker converted.

He is now available for the weekend clash with Gateshead.

Boss Martin Ling told the club website: "The decision has proven we were right to appeal and it's pleasing he'll now be available for Saturday."

He added: "The disappointing things is the decision cost us the game against Mansfield.

"But they had a good shout for a penalty turned down in the first half and these things tend to even themselves out."
