Waterford assistant Newell hit with four-game sideline ban

Latest suspension means he’ll have missed seven of opening 11 games

Waterford assistant manager Mike Newell

Mike Newell has been hit with a four-match sideline ban by the FAI, coming just weeks after the Waterford assistant boss completed a three-game suspension.

The 56-year-old won’t be in the dugout for Friday’s visit of Dundalk and his absence for the next three matches thereafter means he’ll have missed seven of opening 11 games under the tenure of himself and boss Kevin Sheedy.
