Following a NPL hearing held on 9th December 2015, Northwich Victoria Football Club were found guilty of playing an ineligible player in 4 league fixtures, 3 of which they had won gaining 9 points.
The club lodged an appeal with the FA against the decision to deduct the 9 points gained and at a hearing held on 2nd March 2016 The Football Association appeal Board determined that the club will be deducted the 9 points gained and this will now be reflected in the NPL Division 1 North table
There will be no further statement from the League on this matter
