The Ryman League have issued a statement this evening regarding the play-off situation and Enfield Town.

The statement reads "The final table of the Ryman League's Premier Division shows that Enfield Town FC has finished in fifth position. However, the club has been charged with the offence of playing an ineligible player which could result in the deduction of three points.

"That charge has yet to be heard and will not be heard until Thursday 30th April unless the club agrees to an earlier date. Accordingly, the Ryman Premier Division play-off matches cannot be confirmed at this time.

"The League will now refer the matter to The Football Association because Ryman League rules make provision for matters concerning promotion to be decided by the Leagues Committee at The FA which will make any decision. the Ryman League itself is not empowered to make such a decision.

"The Ryman League will continue to work with Enfield Town FC and The FA to resolve these issues as soon as possible. The League will issue a further statement in due course following consultation with The FA."

As soon as we hear anything further, we will let you know through the usual channels. We ask that everyone remains patient while the footballing authorities work to resolve the situation.
