Neath docked points


Neath RFC have been deducted four British and Irish Cup competition points for fielding two ineligible players, Marc Jones and John Leyshon, in the fixture vs. Bedford Blues on December 8 2012.

Marc Jones had previously appeared for Cross Keys in the British and Irish Cup, while John Leyshon had played for Bridgend in the same competition, both on October 20. As a result, the players were ‘cup-tied’ and therefore ineligible to appear for Neath in the competition, as per British and Irish Cup regulation 4.2.

The club remain bottom of Pool 2, now with 1 point.
