CLACHNACUDDIN Reserves could be kicked out of the Highland Amateur Cup after it has been claimed that they fielded two ineligible players in their quarter final victory over Golspie Stafford.
The Highland Amateur Cup committee have confirmed it will be holding a hearing on Sunday looking into the claims by Golspie Stafford that Clachnacuddin Reserves fielded ineligible players in the match.
Clachnacuddin Reserves defeated Golspie Stafford in a penalty shoot after both teams were level at 5-5 after extra time at Grant Street Park.
They are due to face Avoch in the Highland Amateur Cup semi final next month.
Clachnacuddin Reserves are still in contention to become the first team from Inverness to win the competition which was first established in 1978.
Highland Amateur Cup committee chairman Hugh Morrison says they will hear from both teams on Sunday before making a final decision if Clachnacuddin Reserves will remain in the competition.
He said: “Golspie have put a protest in as they are claiming Clachnacuddin have fielded two ineligible players in their quarter final match.
“The Highland Executive Committee will meet this Sunday to discuss the issue and take evidence from both clubs.”
