EVESHAM Rugby Club have been thrown out of the Powergen Junior Vase for fielding an ineligible player during their 22-0 first round home win over Bishop's Castle.
It is understood that the club's coaches were under the impression that the player concerned had been properly registered following the return of numerous registration documents.
However, that was not the case and, not only have the Avon Street side lost this weekend's scheduled knockout game, but they will also be docked two league points as a result of their indiscretion.
