Mexborough & Swinton Times – Friday 26 February 1892

Sheffield and Hallamshire Minor Cup

Conisborough Disqualified.

It will remembered that the Conisborough Football Club has been charged with playing one or two men from Horncastle in the minor ties in false names.

The committee meeting on Tuesday decided to send a deputation over to interview the Horncastle men and they find a man named Davy admits playing in the Cup ties.

The association therefore adjudge Conisborough Club guilty of serious misconduct and throw them out of the competition.

Kiveton Park will therefore meet Sheepbridge in the final.

The next meeting of the association will determine the further penalty to be put on Conisborough.
