Glenanne to appeal Butler suspension

GLENANNE are in the process of formulating an appeal that they hope will allow star goalscorer Stephen Butler play in Saturday’s Irish Senior Cup semi-final against Cork Harlequins in Cork.

The Dublin club feel that Butler’s sending off in their 4-2 quarter-final victory over Crookstown last month should be rescinded and they also believe that correct procedures in the hearing of his disciplinary hearing may not have been followed and on this basis are working on an appeal.

A disciplinary hearing on Monday night last banned Butler from next Saturday’s game, but Glenanne say they have seven days to appeal the decision and intend doing so ahead of Saturday’s vital cup tie.
