Galway Utd fine players over abuse

Galway United has fined two of it's players and banned a supporter from the club for life following a number of recent incidents.

Both players have been fined one week's wages, one for making an unacceptable gesture to supporters at the game against Sligo Rovers and the other for an abusive contribution to a website.

Both players have also received verbal warnings.

The players, believed to be Mark Leech and John Lester, have apologised to the club and its supporters.

One supporter has been banned from the club for life and the behaviour of supporters will be closely monitored following the unacceptable behaviour of a minority of fans.
