FA Trophy
Shaw Lane AFC
Shaw Lane AFC have been removed from the FA Trophy for fielding a suspended player in the last round’s victory over Nantwich Town.
The Ducks have until 10am on Monday morning to appeal against their expulsion.
The issue came to light during this week, just days before Shaw Lane were due to host National League high-flyers Lincoln City in the eagerly-anticipated first round tie.
Nantwich have been reinstated.
It is a massive shame for Non League football in Yorkshire as Shaw Lane had done so well to reach this stage.
Shaw Lane have yet to comment over whether they will be appealing.
