Ooch! Derry player at the wrong end of elbow incident that sees offender get a six game ban

An Irish League player from Derry  is still nursing a nasty facial injury that has led to a Portadown player getting a six-month suspension arising from the incident.

Caoimhin Bonner sustained the injury playing for Cliftonville in last weekend’s Dankse Bank Premiership fixture against Portadown which the Belfast side won 1-0.

The culprit was Ken Oman, whose many previous clubs include Derry City.

Match referee Evan Boyce took no action at the time but subsequently contacted the IFA's Disciplinary Committe regarding the incident following the match at Solitude.

Oman has now been given the six game ban.

Portadown were also fined £100 by the Disciplinary Committee.
