Club Statement on Alex Jack Cup

Following a meeting of the Office Bearers of the East of Scotland Football Association it

has been decided that as the club played a player in the semi final v Haddington on the 20th October while

the player was under suspension Bo’ness United be excluded from the remainder of the competition.

This suspension was received when the player was still registered with his ex Junior Club in season 2017-2018.

The club was unaware he was on any suspension list.

The club is in its first year as a member of the EOS. We accept that the player had a suspension to serve but after being the

3rd club that has moved from the ERSJFA to fall foul of this situation in two calendar months the route of communication and

Notification must be examined and investigated. We also never had the opportunity to state our case in person at the meeting

At which this decided.

Currently the club is taking professional advice on the matter.

I will also review my own position as Chairman of the football club over the next few days.

IAIN MUIRHEAD

CHAIRMAN
