League accepts written undertaking

Ilkeston FC have provided a written undertaking to fulfill all their remaining fixtures of the 2016-17 EVO-STIK Northern Premier League season.

After failing to play at Workington on Saturday 1 April and subsequently being charged under Rule 8.6 for failing to fulfill the fixture, the club's assurances in writing were accepted by the EVO-STIK NPL's board of directors on Monday.

In the interests of the EVO-STIK NPL's member clubs and the competition's integrity, the club understands that a second failure will result in further charges being levied which could have serious consequences.

Ilkeston FC, who have eight games to play, asked for their EVO-STIK NPL Premier Division match at Borough Park to be postponed on Saturday morning after confirming they were unable to field a side in Cumbria and apologising for the disruption caused.
