The captain of Twyford's second team, Mike Roberts, has called for the Osberton Radiators and Centenary Cup competitions to be scrapped, claiming "unfair treatment" by the OCA League.

Twyford were booted out of the Centenary Cup for fielding an ineligible player, Sam Lyon, in their quarter-final victory over Charlbury 3rd on June 25 an identical offence to the one East Oxford were charged with when they were expelled from the Osberton Radiators Cup.

Both these competitions are specifically for second teams, and under OCA League rules, players must be considered to be a 'bona fide regular' second-team player.

Lyon, who had just re-signed from Bicester & North Oxford, was ruled to be ineligible after the event, and Twyford were subsequently removed from the competition.

In the same month, East Oxford were expelled from the Osberton Radiators Cup after they fielded two ineligible players Tayab Alam and Martin Woodward in their quarter-final victory against Marcham on June 18.

Shortly after the decision, a letter was circulated to members of the committee threatening legal action for "racial discrimination" if the judgment was not reversed.

The decision to expel East Oxford was immediately overturned without appeal and without the knowledge of all members of the OCA committee.

But following an appeal from Marcham, the matter went before an official appeal hearing, at which it was decided to reinstate East Oxford.

"It's totally unfair," said Twyford skipper Roberts.

"There is no doubt that while a mistake was made by us, the same rules should apply to East Oxford.

"I want to know under what criteria they were reinstated. It's been a shambolic state of affairs.

"I think it's only fair that both cup competition are cancelled. The rules are there in the handbook. We had the result of our match reversed. We took our medicine.

"But now it seems that it's one rule for one club, and a different one for another. It all needs looking at." "Brian Standish (OCA chairman) has a bit of work to do."

Roberts added that the club would be writing to the league as a matter of urgency. "We won't be threatening legal action or anything like that, which would be going over the top."
