In May this year the League fined Thurrock FC and deducted three points from their total for season 2012/2013 as a result of the Club playing an ineligible player.
The Club appealed that decision to The FA where the appeal was unsuccessful and the Club referred that decision of The FA to arbitration under The FA Rule K.
That arbitration was heard yesterday and today the Arbitrator has published his decision to dismiss the claim brought by Thurrock FC.

This means that Thurrock FC are relegated to Division One North and Carshalton Athletic are reprieved and will compete in the Premier Division.
