Barnsley have been kicked out of this season’s FA Cup for fielding an ineligible player in their first-round replay win at Horsham, who have been reinstated to the competition. The seventh-tier side will now play League Two Sutton United in round two. The League One Tykes had won the replay 3-0 last week after drawing 3-3 in the initial tie at Oakwell It’s thought that the player is Forward Aiden Marsh who was on loan at National League side York City when the first game took place on 3 November, before being recalled three days later. The 20-year-old then started in the replay in West Sussex on 14 November. Barnsley fc said We would like to apologise to our fans, players and staff for this regrettable error. This mistake - although unintentional - falls way below the high standards we set at this club and is simply not what you deserve. We have already conducted a full internal investigation and have subsequently put safeguards in place to ensure this will never happen again. The ruling means Isthmian League Premier Division side Horsham will now play in the second round of the FA Cup for only the second time in their history. We would like to wish Horsham United all the best vs Sutton Utd in the next round of the fa cup as they have a top set of fans and are a great club good luck guys If you haven’t subscribed yet why not subscribe to keep up to date with all the latest news and updates
