OCA League
Hook Norton 2nd have been expelled from this season's Osberton Radiators Cup after fielding an ineligible player in their second-round victory over Freeland 2nd on May 31.
The team were removed from the competition under the league's new constitution, namely, 'players should not play in a team in a lower division than their usual team without just reason'.
Freeland 2nd have been reinstated and will now take on Kennington 2nd in Sunday's quarter-final clash.
A league spokesman said: "We are determined to ensure fair play in the second and third team cup competitions.
"We have members of the committee who closely scrutinise team lists from these games.
"Any club found guilty of playing a player who is not a regular second or third team player, will face the same penalty.
"The OCA executive are very disappointed that this has happened again, but we had no option, but to take this action to preserve the integrity of the competition."
