We regret to inform our supporters that Fulham Football Club Women (FFCW) has, this morning (Saturday 26 April), withdrawn from the League Cup competition owing to a breach of player eligibility rules. It was brought to the attention of FFCW yesterday that it had inadvertently played an ineligible player in previous rounds of the competition. On scrutinising this information FFCW confirmed to the league its intention to withdraw from the competition.
Huw Jennings, Head of Football Development, commented:
"We would like to take this opportunity to apologise to all those who have been affected by this oversight; the league and its officers; the players, officials and supporters of Dartford, Millwall, Brentford and Denham United. We would also like to apologise to our own supporters, especially those who were planning to attend the final this Sunday. We will now look forward to the final three games of our league campaign, beginning with Sporting London Benfica at Craven Cottage on Sunday May 4th."
