An FA charge stated Doswell's rule breach: ‘Breach of FA Rule E3.1 - It is alleged that in or around the 42nd minute of the fixture, the participants language and/or behaviour was abusive and/or insulting and/or improper, contrary to Rule E3.1. It is further alleged that this breach of FA Rule E3.1 is an “aggravated breach” as defined in Rule E3.2, as it included a reference (express or implied) to nationality.’
Doswell's touchline ban is restricted to National League South games only and started in the Hawks' home draw with Dulwich Hamlet last week.
He will remain in the stands for upcoming matches with Eastbourne Borough, Hemel Hempstead and the home and away meetings with Dorking Wanderers over the festive period.
Hawks faced off with Ebbsfleet at The Kuflink Stadium this season back in August, running out 2-1 victors thanks to strikes from Tommy Wright and Scott Rendell.
