Longford's Barrett gets ban

Longford Town's FAI Cup hero Shane Barrett has been handed a one-match ban in the latest round of suspensions issued by the eircom League’s disciplinary commission.

Barrett, who scored both goals in his side’s final win over St Patrick’s Athletic last October, found the net for the first time since November on Tuesday night as his late header broke the deadlock against Shamrock Rovers to send the midlanders into the quarter-finals.
