CHESHUNT chairman Dean Williamson has spoken out following the confirmation that the club have been deducted three points for field an ineligible player.
The Ambers had their appeal against the decision thrown out by The FA but, due to the circumstances surrounding the misdemeanor, were not ordered to pay any additional costs.
Speaking about the FA Appeals Panel's decision, Williamson said: “I'm extremely disappointed at the verdict but understand how the decision was reached. “Cheshunt Football Club followed the normal and expected procedure in registering players and we had no way of knowing that the player in question was ineligible. “The FA and Ryman League accepted our position and expressed their sympathies, but unfortunately rules are rules.
