Windsor FC And Flackwell Heath Thrown Out Of Berks & Bucks Cup After Both Fielded Ineligible Players Against Each Other
Both Windsor FC and Flackwell Heath have both been expelled from the
tournament after it came to light that both sides attempted to
play ineligible players against each other in their semi-final on March
6th.
Flackwell Heath won on the night, snatching a 3-2 victory with a goal deep in stoppage time, though it all emerged in the week following the fixture that both sides had tried to get away with fielding ringers.
This from the Maidenhead Advertiser:
Apparently both sides filed formal complaints and counter-complaints
to the Berks & Bucks FA a fortnight ago and yesterday both clubs
received identical letters telling them they had both been fined £1,000
and thrown out of the cup.

This from the Maidenhead Advertiser:
“[Flackwell] ‘keeper Craig Garrett played
the full 90 minutes even though he should have been cup-tied having
played for Harefield earlier in the season in the Middlesex County
Senior Cup.
“And it was a similar story for Windsor
who played midfielder Jason Sheehan who was also cup-tied having played
for Chalfont St Peter in the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup.”
