Workington Town’s Karl Olstrom has been banned for six matches by the RFL disciplinary panel.

Olstrom was charged with a Grade F offence of physical assault of a match official in the 27th minute of their recent clash at Sheffield Eagles.

The committee brought the offence down to a Grade E but Olstrom was handed a six-match ban and a £100 fine.

He will miss this weekend’s final game of the season at Halifax and the first five games of next season.
