Shelbourne have reported an incident of alleged homophobic and misogynistic abuse of an opposition player to gardai.
The incident is alleged to have happened during the north Dublin side's Women's FAI Cup clash against Peamount United at Tolka Park on August 6, which Shels won 3-2. But the alleged abuse was later reported to the club, who have vowed to ban the person responsible for life.
In a statement released last night, Shelbourne confirmed the incident to gardai and have implemented additional security measures to ensure there are no repeat instances. The club also offered its apologies to Peamount United for the abuse suffered by their player.
