Abandoned game result to stand
20th April, 2015
The management board of the Toolstation Northern Counties East Football League has ruled that the result of an abandoned Division One game last week will stand.
The match between Knaresborough Town and Winterton Rangers last Wednesday was brought to a halt by the referee in second-half stoppage time due to a mass brawl.
Taking into account that the individuals concerned have been reported to the appropriate County FAs, both clubs will be charged following the incident, the fact that neither club wishes for the match to be replayed and that the outcome of the game does not affect promotion or relegation places, it has been decided that the score at the time of the abandonment, 2-1 to Winterton, will be taken as the final result.
The Division One league table will be updated with immediate effect.
