City expect hefty bottle-throwing fine

CORK CITY chairman Brian Lennox expects the club will face a heavy fine following a bottle-throwing incident at Turner’s Cross last Friday which saw Drogheda goalkeeper Dan Connor receive three stitches to a leg wound.

The incident occurred towards the end of Drogheda’s 1-0 win over City and, afterwards, the gardaí questioned an individual who, according to Lennox, has now been banned from the ground for life.

While stressing that it was an isolated incident, the City chairman said the club would beef up security in The Shed, where two Gardaí and four stewards will now be on duty at all home games.
