He receives a three match ban for passing the 10 bookings mark, as does this season's top goal-scorer Darren Fitzgerald.

His fellow striker Darren Stirling still has one match of his six game ban from this season to serve, ruling him out of the first competitive game of the new season.

James Wilson was also on the list of banned players with him receiving a one-match ban for five bookings.

Finally, club physio John Weatherup will watch from stand for the first four games of next season, following his sending off in the recent match with Donegal Celtic.
