Midfielder banned for three games but Bristol Rovers will contest charge against defender

Bristol Rovers midfielder Sam Finley has been hit with a three-game ban after accepting a charge of violent conduct.

The charge related to an incident in the 58th minute of Saturday's 2-0 defeat to MK Dons when a frustrated Finley fouled Sullay Kaikai to prevent a counter-attack after the Gas felt they were denied a clear free-kick on the edge of the box.

Finley was booked for the challenge by referee Carl Boyeson, but a retrospective review of the footage showed the 30-year-old's actions amounted to violent conduct, making contact with the MK Dons forward while he was on the floor.
