PROVISIONS FOR WITHDRAWING FROM THE COMPETITION
Sheffield Senior Cup Rules

(a) Any Club intending to withdraw from the Competition must notify its intention to do so to The Association and the opposing Club, not less than eight days before the date fixed for playing the match.
(b) A Club failing to comply with this shall be reported to the Challenge Cups Committee, who shall have power to compel such offending Club to pay the expenses incurred and to take such other action as the Committee considers appropriate.
(c) If a Club decides to withdraw from the Competition after a postponed or abandoned match, notice must be given to The Association and its opponent at the end of the match.
(d) A Club failing to give satisfactory reason for withdrawing from the Competition may not, in addition to any other action considered appropriate, be allowed to enter the Competition in the following season and shall be liable to such fine as the Board
considers appropriate.

It has not got a mention on Evo web site and the game is still in the fixtures. Perhaps they don't know. Not doing Evostik League any favours since they and Lincoln must have agreed play off fixture change. I hope the SHFA and the FA and Evostik punish them heavily.

Not sure - I had a quick look but the general 'rule E' relates more to player conduct, so it may be a different reference they mean.
Interesting though that it is set out quite clearly, that county cup competitions must be entered, and must take precedence over league games at this level - so arguing that the S&H FA should arrange round league play-offs would appear to be contrary to FA rules (in my interpretation anyhow!).
Also the crux seems to be that by not fulfilling a cup fixture in this manner, a club would risk its league position.
Relevant section:
"With the exception of any club competing in The FA Women’s Super League, if a club
is required to do so by its parent Affiliated Association, a club must enter a suitable Cup
Competition of that Association. However, in the absence of any existing suitable County
Cup Competition, women’s clubs may enter a Competition jointly organised by a
neighbouring Affiliated Association. Only the matches of such Competition(s) will
take precedence over other Competitions in which the club competes, except The
Football Association Premier League, The Football League and The Football League Cup
Competition."

Basically, you can't treat a county cup final like a football gala and say 'we don't want to play anymore'.

Newspaper report from Shaw Lane "The size of our squad means that at least half of the team would have to play two games in 48 hours. The other is player welfare because it is unreasonable to expect players to play two games in 48 hours".
One of their forwards could not last a full game last night, probably due to frost bite. It was ok for the players to play Goole one night and Sheffield Cup next night a few weeks ago. Where was players welfare then?

How they have managed to not get promoted with the budget is a joke and a funny one at that

Let's be fair to Shaw Lane, some of their players played 2 matches this week and if Lincoln United had scored first on Wednesday this would not have happened. They obviously took the chairman's comments about players welfare of playing 2 games in 48 hours seriously and lost to Coalville. Never mind.

http://www.evostikleague.co.uk/match-in ... re/2-33816 here's highlights of their defence playing at statues......

If that's their standard, can you imagine what Tyler would have done to them???

considering how intense some of our last 6 games were the highlights looked like a friendly nevermind a playoff final. a weak shot by the chocolate fireguard at the end, even hoody would have got down to it

wonder what the fall out from this is going to be, could be an interesting few weeks

Agree forest b.The chocolate fireguard appeared to have a strapping on his knee which would have slowed him down. Not that you would notice the difference. Wonder if the Final was dropped when they worked out their only player of note, James Walshaw was cup-tied. Without him they would not have beaten Lincoln United.
