Following the abandonment of Connah’s Quay Nomads v Bala Town in the JD Cymru Premier on Tuesday 14 January, the FAW National Leagues Board (NLB) has voted in favour of the fixture being replayed in full.
In line with Cymru Premier Rule 20.1, the NLB considered both options available to them: ordering the match to stand completed as a 3-0 win for Connah’s Quay Nomads – the scoreline at the time of the match abandonment – or replaying the full period of ninety (90) minutes.
While recognising the extremely difficult and unique circumstances for all clubs impacted, with no solution likely to appease all parties, the NLB concluded that with 28 minutes plus any additional time still to play in the fixture, multiple variables could have occurred in that time frame and therefore the scoreline should not stand as completed. This is consistent with previous decisions with regards to previous abandoned matches.
The fixture between Connah’s Quay Nomads and Bala Town will now be played on Friday 17 January (19:45).
