The FA Carlsberg Vase
Mauritius Sports decision
Monday, 14 September, 2009
Protest from Eton Manor considered and decision made.
Mauritius Sports Association UK 2-0 Eton Manor
The FA Carlsberg Vase
First Round Qualifying
Saturday 5 September
An FA Vase Protest Sub Committee was held on Monday 14 September 2009 to consider a protest lodged by Eton Manor against Mauritius Sports Association UK.
The protest was upheld after considering the facts surrounding the inclusion of Javier Rivera in the above tie. The Sub Committee decided that Mauritius Sports Association UK had breached FA Vase Rule 15(c) by playing a player whilst under suspension, therefore ineligible.
The Sub Committee decided, in accordance with its discretionary powers, that Mauritius Sports Association UK be removed from the Competition and Eton Manor reinstated. The prize fund payment is also awarded to Eton Manor.
No order was made as to costs and no fine imposed as removal from the Competition is deemed sufficient punishment.
The FA Carlsberg Vase Second Round Qualifying will now be Eton Manor v Erith Town, on a date to be advised.
