Snooker player Stephen Lee has been fined £1,815 after admitting a charge of fraud relating to his personal cue.

LINFIELD have failed in their bid to have a red card shown to midfielder Paul McAreavey rescinded after the player was given his marching orders by Cork referee Alan Kelly in Monday’s scoreless Setanta Cup Group Two game with Shelbourne at Tolka Park.

SHELBOURNE may have a healthy 2-1 lead going into the second leg of their Champions League first round qualifier against Glentoran at Tolka Park this evening, but manager Pat Fenlon insists his side must take the game entirely on its own merits.
