TONBRIDGE FC players Tony Dolby and Luke Piscina have been hit with bans following the club's exit from the FA Trophy at the hands of Marlow on November 1.

Experienced centre-half Dolby was charged with two counts of violent conduct for an incident after the final whistle in that game and will now have to miss five matches.

Piscina, who is currently enjoying a run of four starts in the team, will have to sit out three games.

Both bans will run from January 5 meaning Dolby may miss the crunch game with rivals Histon in February as fixtures stand.
