Keighley Cougars’ hooker, Thomas Doyle, has been handed a two-match ban following an incident of “Dangerous Contact” during the team’s clash against Swinton Lions on Sunday. The ban comes as a result of a Grade C charge imposed on Doyle by the Rugby Football League (RFL).

The incident occurred in the 21st minute of the highly anticipated game when Doyle made a tackle that was deemed to have breached the league’s regulations on player safety. After a thorough review of the footage, the RFL disciplinary committee concluded that Doyle’s actions warranted disciplinary action.

The Keighley Cougars coaching staff is set to analyse the footage further in order to assess their options moving forward. The club remains committed to upholding the highest standards of player conduct and safety.

As a consequence of the ban, Doyle will be sidelined for the upcoming away game against Newcastle and the much-anticipated Pride fixture at home against Whitehaven. His absence will undoubtedly be felt by the team, as his skills and experience have proven valuable on numerous occasions.

The Keighley Cougars will need to regroup and make the necessary adjustments to compensate for Doyle’s absence during these crucial matches. It remains to be seen how the team will adapt their strategies to overcome this setback and secure victory in their upcoming fixtures.

Despite this setback, the Keighley Cougars remain optimistic about their chances and are determined to maintain their strong performance throughout the season. The club and its fans will be eagerly anticipating Doyle’s return to the pitch, where he will undoubtedly be looking to make a strong impact once his suspension concludes.

In the meantime, the Keighley Cougars will focus on rallying behind their teammates and ensuring that they continue to uphold the club’s proud traditions.
