Dear Clubs,
Please see the below message sent to participating clubs in the Capital Football Men’s Capital Premier and Capital 1 competitions.
Capital Football would like to provide an update to those clubs participating in the Capital Football Men’s Capital Premier and Capital 1 competitions regarding the dispensation regulation breach by Lower Hutt City AFC.
The New Zealand Football Disciplinary Committee (NZF DC) have reviewed the appeal made by LHCAFC and have made the decision to overturn the sanctions imposed by the Competitions Administration before 22 July 2022. See below:
The sanctions imposed on the LHCAFC and the points reduction for the matches before 22 July 2022 are rescinded or overturned and points restored.
The sanctions imposed on the LHCAFC and the points reduction for the matches after 22 July 2022 still stand.
Please note, it is stated in the NZ Football Disciplinary Code, this decision can be further appealed to the New Zealand Football Appeals Committee.
Capital Football Management and Board are currently working through the next steps and will send out further communications to Clubs no later than 5pm Friday 2 September.
Capital Football can confirm that the decision has been made to postpone the scheduled Central League playoff game this weekend (Saturday 3 September).
Again, we appreciate your patience while we work through this. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Kind Regards,
Blair Duncan
