Kilbirnie Ladeside have been slapped with a three-game ban on crowds – after a linesman was targeted with a pellet/kep gun during a match.
The Garnock Valley club will start the new West of Scotland League (WoSFL) season behind closed doors following their punishment from the WoSFL board.
An official complained about being struck in Kilbirnie's 2-1 victory over Darvel in the Premier Division in March.
