Pontefract Collieries have been removed from this season's Toolstation NCEL League Cup after fielding an ineligible player.

Max Leonard took part in their Second Round match at Winterton Rangers in October, scoring two goals in their 4-2 victory, having played in the previous round for AFC Emley in August.

As per Rule 7 of the league's Cup Competition Rules, Pontefract's place in the Third Round will be taken by Winterton who will now have a home game against Cleethorpes Town and a date will be given to that tie in due course.

The Colls have also been fined ?100 for the infringement.
