The club, singular? So it would be a club with teams in both CapPrem and Cap1? There is a choice of three, excluding Central League teams.
Absolute amateur time from them if this is the case. They deserve to find themselves at the foot of both leagues
What's really disappointing is that Lower Hutt will bear the cost when it's the Phoenix Academy that have done this. By guaranteeing the Phoenix teams in Cap Prem and Cap 1 they've introduced a bit of moral hazard.
Capital Football would like to provide a further update to those clubs participating in the Capital Football Men’s Capital Premier and Capital 1 competitions regarding the notification of a regulation breach in both competitions (sent Thursday 28 July).
We can now confirm the club in question is Lower Hutt City AFC and is centred around player dispensations.
Lower Hutt City AFC have appealed the Competitions Administrator's ruling. The was sent to Capital Football on Wednesday 3 August. The Regional Association Disciplinary Committee will hear the appeal on Monday 8 August.
Capital Football will communicate the outcome of the hearing to clubs no later than 5pm Tuesday 9 August. Furthermore, any changes to the above competitions will be actioned prior to the following scheduled round of the competitions on the weekend of 13 August.
Please be aware that should the appeal be unsuccessful and the original decision upheld, it will have a significant impact on both competition tables in Capital Premier and Capital 1.
Somewhat amusing that LH could lose all their points but still overtake NW with 3 wins in their final 4 games.
Wouldn't they only lose the points in the games where they played a player that was underage and with no dispensation, so would imagine it won't be ALL their points?

Just clicked on this- does this mean that LH and the Nix are in effect seperating next year?
update from Capital Football..... Capital Football would like to provide an update regarding the Regional Association Disciplinary Committee hearing yesterday, Monday 8 August, in relation to the dispensation breach by Lower Hutt City AFC.
The committee did not reach a decision yesterday as they require more time to properly consider the decision and appeal. They will reconvene on Thursday 11 August.
Communication of the appeal outcome has therefore been delayed. We are planning to update any changes to the competitions before the scheduled round of the competitions this weekend, 13-14 August.
We will provide a further update to Clubs on Friday 12 August.
Again, we appreciate your patience while we work through this. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
We can now confirm that Lower Hutt City’s appeal has been declined by the Regional Association Disciplinary Committee. As a result, the initial decision by the Competitions Administrator will stand.
