The Yeltz admitted fielding Kalern Thomas for three games in September and October while he was still registered with Solihull Morris. The club requested a personal hearing with the Evo-Stik League, and received £600 fine.

The games saw Halesowen collect four points from the matches in which Thomas played – against Workington, Barwell and neighbours Stourbridge – all of which have now been deducted.

Halesowen are considering an appeal.
