Second Division club Easington have been hit by a heavy fine and points deduction.
The newly promoted club was unable to raise a team for their away game at Gillford Park in October, and were charged by the league for failing to fulfil the fixture.
As a consequence, at Thursday night's league management meeting, they were deducted three points, and fined £500, half of which has been suspended for a year.
