Pikes and Colls Removed from Cups
11th December, 2011
Pickering Town and Pontefract Collieries have been removed from the Baris NCEL League Cup and President's Cup respectively after fielding ineligible players in recent matches.
Pickering were found to have used a cup-tied player in their 5-0 home win over Brighouse Town in the Second Round of the League Cup on Tuesday 6th December.
And, Pontefract were found to have fielded an unregistered player in their 1-0 President's Cup Second Round match at Handsworth on Wednesday 30th November.
Brighouse will now take Pickering's place in the Third Round of the League Cup and Handsworth replace Pontefract in the Semi-Finals of the President's Cup.
Both Pickering and Pontefract have the right to appeal the decision.
