Mayo midfielder David Brady looks set to miss his county's championship tie with Sligo in three weeks' time after being sent off in a club game on Saturday. The Ballina Stephenites man, who was booked for dissent in the first half of the league game against Castlebar Mitchels at McHale Park, was shown the red card by referee John Walsh with 10 minutes to go, and it is understood he will be reported for striking, which carries an automatic one-month suspension.
