Bessbrook Utd vs Enniskillen Rangers Junior Cup semi-final ruling confirmed by Irish FA

The Irish FA has ruled on the player eligibility dispute surrounding one of last week's Junior Cup semi-finals.

Bessbrook United defeated holders Enniskillen Rangers 3-1 last Monday to progress to next month's showpiece final.

However, a complaint was raised by Rangers into the eligibility of one of Bessbrook's players, with a hearing held at Windsor Park on Wednesday night.

The IFA confirmed on Thursday that Bessbrook would remain in the competition.

"The Irish FA Junior and Youth Cup Committee last night conducted an investigation into the eligibility of a Bessbrook United player who took part in the competition," the association said in a statement.

"The committee concluded that Bessbrook United should remain in the competition."

Fermanagh outfit Rangers were bidding to reach their third successive final, but Ben Treanor’s County Armagh men claimed the win to progress to the final.
