Sean O'Connor: Jersey Reds forward gets four-week ban

Jersey Reds forward Sean O'Connor will miss the rest of the season after being banned for four weeks.

The 25-year-old was sent off in the Championship Cup quarter-final second leg win over Hartpury for a tip tackle on fly-half James Williams.

O'Connor contested the charge but was found guilty by a disciplinary panel.

The ban means he will miss Jersey's Championship Cup semi-final against Coventry on Friday and the final if the club progress.

He will also miss either two or three meaningful pre-season or league fixtures next season depending on how Jersey fare against Coventry.
