Cousins out till March - January 9, 2001

Shamrock Rovers striker Tony Cousins has learned that he will be out of action for at least another six weeks with a back injury.

The former Dundalk and Liverpool front man has already missed the last two matches, after completing a run of ten games in the side since his return from a career-threatening knee injury which saw him miss most of last season and the start of the current term.

Hoops manager Damien Richardson said: "It's a blow - but at least it's his back and not his knee again.

"The next two years are crucial for the lad's career and we want him to be right."
