Barnsley have been booted out of the FA Cup for fielding an ineligible player in their first-round replay against Horsham. The decision sees the defeated non-league outfit reinstated, and they will face Sutton United to fight for a spot in round three next month.<\/p>\n

Horsham earned a replay by battling out a dramatic 3-3 draw at Oakwell in early November. The reverse fixture, played less than two weeks later, dashed the non-league side’s hopes of a dramatic upset as Barnsley won comfortably.<\/p>\n

A goal from Nicky Cadden, and John McAtee’s brace put the Tykes out of sight within half an hour of the contest. But the FA have had the 3-0 result thrown out due to Barnsley fielding an ineligible player.<\/p>\n

The governing body’s statement reads: “A Professional Game Board Sub-Committee has removed Barnsley from the 2023-24 Emirates FA Cup for fielding an ineligible player during their First Round Proper Replay against Horsham on Tuesday 14 November 2023.<\/p>\n

“The FA alleged that the player was ineligible for this Replay, as he was not correctly registered and eligible for the original First Round Proper match on Friday 3 November 2023, which constitutes a breach of FA Cup Rule 103.<\/p>\n

“Barnsley admitted this charge and acknowledged that the breach had occurred. The Sub-Committee\u2019s members ordered that Barnsley be removed from the competition, and that Horsham be awarded the tie and progression to the Second Round Proper.<\/p>\n

“Subject to any appeal by Barnsley, Horsham will now play away to Sutton United in the Second Round Proper on Saturday 2 December 2023.”<\/p>\n
