Flint Town United have been expelled from the Nathaniel MG Cup for fielding an ineligible player in their third round win against Ruthin Town.
Ruthin, who were beaten 3-1 by the Cymru Premier side, have been reinstated in the competition and will face Connah’s Quay Nomads in the quarter-finals.
Flint themselves had been put back in the competition despite losing on penalties to Colwyn Bay in round two. Bay were subsequently booted out of the cup for a rule break.
The Silkmen are the latest to fall foul of competition rules this season with the Bay, Llandudno, Abergavenny Town and Briton Ferry Llansawel also expelled.
A statement issued by the FAW regarding Flint’s breach read:
“The FAW’s National League Board has today confirmed that Flint Town United have been removed from the Nathaniel MG Cup for breaching League Cup Rule 14.1 by fielding an ineligible player in their third-round fixture against Ruthin Town on Wednesday 21st September 2022.
“League Cup Rule 14.1 states: “No Club may play an ineligible Player in any Match.”
“As a result, Ruthin Town have been reinstated into the competition and will face Connah’s Quay Nomads on Tuesday 25th October at 7:45 pm.”
