CLUB STATEMENT – WILTSHIRE SENIOR CUP
Bradford Town FC must unfortunately confirm that we have been removed from the Wiltshire Senior Cup.
Following an unsuccessful appeal this evening, a decision from the Wiltshire FA has been upheld by The Appeal Board in relation to fielding an ineligible player in our semi-final against Downton FC.
It is recognised that the club made an oversight in relation to Rule 4G (i) regarding the qualification of players for the semi-final of the Wiltshire Senior Cup.
Players are required to play three competitive games for the club, or to have signed before a certain date, in order to qualify to participate in the semi-final. Having joined in the last couple of months, the player in question was unable to fulfil these requirements due to a series of postponed matches. The club were not aware of this condition prior to the match.
Upon the realisation of this mistake, the club have fully cooperated with the relevant bodies to clarify the situation.
The club believed we had firm grounds to appeal the original verdict and that the sanction to expel the club from the competition was excessive.
We are extremely disappointed that our appeal was dismissed and the club wish to sincerely apologise to our players, management and our supporters for this genuine mistake which has resulted in our expulsion from the final.
