Note that a second team has resigned from the league with their results expunged - Bewdley U21, who hosted our first U21 league game.

score ??

4-1, Morgan scored a worldie according to him and a tap in according to his dad

I think another young lad that Dunk may know ;) scored a well deserved hat-trick. Well done, Jake, great to see that you are finding your form once again after your long-term injury problems.

Also worth pointing out that we had three players on the bench yesterday afternoon in Noah Bryant, Connor Brown, and Ben who all played for the U21's in the morning. That's called 'club spirit' and something no amount of money can buy.

I think it came off his heel ;-)

A third team has also dropped out of the U21s league - the details are on the U21 stats page - http://www.afcdiamonds.com/201314-afc-rd-u21-stats

So we've been deducted points for fielding an ineligible player in a game that is now void?

Yeah, seems like a double punishment. Effectively six points deducted :?

Yep.

The official explanation is:

...at the time of the match Bustleholme were a legitimate member of the competition, therefore all sanctions in relation to matches that this club were involved in stand.

I'm not sure if this is an FA Competitions-wide rule or an MFC-specific rule.
