NI's Burrows given 16-game ban for alleged assault
The Northern Ireland international was shown a red card by referee Simon Bickerstaff after the Reds' 2-0 win against Glentoran Women on 25 July.
The suspension is effective immediately and covers all competitions but it is understood that the club are appealing against the decision, which means Burrows will be available to play in Friday's Premiership game against Crusaders Strikers.
Team coach Brendan Lynch has been handed a three-match ban from the same game for "entering the field of play to confront a match official".
The incident came after the final whistle of the victory over Glentoran, which put Cliftonville right in the mix at the top of the table as they currently sit six points off leaders Linfield with two games in hand.
Cliftonville, the Irish Football Association and NIFL have been contacted by BBC Sport NI for comment.

Verizon Promo Offers NFL Sunday Ticket Access at No Extra Cost
It's still the NFL preseason, but ahead of the official 2025-2026 regular season kickoff in September, Verizon, a long-term partner of the league, is offering NFL Sunday Ticket to new and existing mobile and internet customers. You don't even need a paid subscription for YouTube TV or YouTube Primetime Channels. Verizon revived its Sunday Ticket on Us promo on Tuesday, and it will run through Sept. 23, along with an alternative option to get $200 off the sports package for a savings of up to $480. The deal grants football fans access to watch out-of-market Sunday games that aren't broadcast on their local networks. As an added perk, the company is giving out a limited number of free tickets to NFL games. Beginning Thursday at 8 a.m. ET, Verizon users can check the My Verizon app for spontaneous ticket giveaways throughout the season. You'll need a Google account to stream live games on the sports package. This promo expires on Sept. 23, and you must redeem it within 60 days of your purchase or service activation. How to get NFL Sunday Ticket for free from Verizon The wireless company offers multiple ways to get in on the game action, whether you're new or a current customer. How do you know if you're eligible for free access? If you buy a 5G phone from Verizon and sign up for a new line on its myPlan service, you can get the deal. Wireless customers can bring their own phone and add a new line with myPlan to be eligible. Activate one of these internet plans: Fios 1 Gig, Fios 2 Gig, LTE Home Plus or 5G Home Ultimate. Get $200 off the price of Sunday Ticket Existing Verizon phone or home internet customers can still get a discount without switching subscription plans or buying new devices, and returning Sunday Ticket subscribers may also be eligible. Though the offer doesn't apply if you're a Verizon prepaid, business or data-only phone customer, you can sign up for the sports package by Sept. 23 to lock in $200 off the full price.
