Louth forward Sam Mulroy has failed in his appeal against the red card he received in last Sunday's National League defeat by Offaly in Drogheda.

The Naomh Máirtín man appeared before a hearings' committee at Croke Park on Thursday night in a bid to free himself to play in this weekend's game against Derry.
