Brian Fenton has acknowledged that he left Cork whistler Conor Lane with no option but to send him off in the National League final.

But the decorated Dublin midfielder has insisted he didn't attempt to punch Derry's Eunan Mulholland and was merely trying to make his 'frustrations known' following a 'hurtful' and 'dangerous' challenge.
