League Statement on Abandoned Matches

Wed 27th March 2019 | Announcements | By Paul Lawler

The League Management Committee has made decisions in relation to two matches that were abandoned earlier in the season, the circumstances of which were under FA investigation.

3 November 2018 Ashton Town v Cleator Moor Celtic - result 1-1

Following a County FA investigation into the allegations which led to the abandonment of this game, the FA found that neither club were at fault for the abandonment of the game. The League Management Committee we’re disappointed at the length of time taken to resolve this case. As a result of the investigation finding neither club at fault, and following discussion with both clubs, the League Committee has ruled that the result of this game stands at 1-1 and this is now reflected in the League table.

26 January 2019 Wythenshawe Town v Rylands - result 0-3

Following a County FA investigation into the abandonment, Wythenshawe Town pleaded guilty to causing the game to be abandoned. As a result, the League Management Committee has decided that the result stands and this is now reflected in the League table.

The Management Committee will be making no further comment on these decisions.
