North Ferriby removed from FA Vase

North Ferriby have confirmed that they have been removed from this season’s FA Vase competition.

The NCEL Division One club had made it through to the 5^th round proper but have explained today that The FA have determined they fielded an ineligible player against West Auckland Town.

Niall Tilsley was deemed ineligible to have featured ‘following the discovery of a non-recorded yellow card’ in December.

Chairman Les Hare has said: “There is little more I can add at this time, other than I’m heartbroken for every Villager, but none more so than our incredible management and players.”

West Auckland have subsequently been reinstated in the competition.
