Derry City boss Felix Healy was at the centre of a cup final controversy in Donegal last night. Playing for his club's reserve team in the Ulster Senior League Cup final against Swilly Rovers, both Healy and Ryan Coyle were sent off in a first half that ended with them trailing 5-0. City then refused to reappear from the dressing rooms for the second half and play was unable to continue. The club now face stern disciplinary action from the league's disciplinary committee.
