It is with regret the club have to inform supporters that we have been removed from the competition.
It has transpired that the club played an ineligible player in the last round against Bowers and Pitsea
When the player registered with Romford we checked what games he had played for his previous clubs. The player had played in the first round of this competition, but no Essex Senior Cup fixture shows on the club fixture list, so we were not even aware they had been in the competition.
As we do not deny the player was on the teamsheet for the Bowers match, the club has accepted the punishment of being removed from the Essex Senior Club.
We are disappointed for the supporters, players and management team, that we are not in a position to repeat last years semi final appearance.
