At a FA Trophy Sub-Committee meeting today, AFC Wimbledon were expelled from this season's competition after fielding an ineligible player in the Second Round Proper.

The club were charged on 19 January after Jermaine Darlington played in the tie against Gravesend & Northfleet on 13 January.

Darlington had previously played for Cardiff City and had not obtained international clearance before representing AFC Wimbledon, as required by competition rules.

As a result, Gravesend & Northfleet have been reinstated into the competition and will receive the £5,000 prize fund payment from the Second Round Proper. They will now play Rushden & Diamonds on 3 February.

In addition, as Darlington also played in the previous FA Trophy ties against Eastleigh and Aldershot Town, AFC Wimbledon have been ordered to repay the prize money received from these rounds, totalling £7,000.
