    Does anyone know the rules for forfeiting the 2nd leg of a cup match for Schoolboys?

    This is from the Fai Rulebook but not sure if it applies to Schoolboys or how it works with 2 legged cup games.

    RULE 132. FORFEIT
    1. Teams sanctioned with a forfeit are considered to have lost the match by 0-3.
    2. If the goal difference at the end of the match in question is greater than 0-3, the result on the pitch is
    upheld.

    Anyone any ideas?

    If the question is: a team is leading by 4 goals or more from the 1st leg, can they forfeit the 2nd leg and still go through?

    I haven't seen this in cup matches, but have when a team can't field enough players in a league game, but feels outside of the spirit of the game.

    In this instance Team A won 1st leg (away) 8-0.

    2nd leg was called off due to 'an incident'.

    Correct procedures/notice etc. weren't followed when cancelling the game, so it went down as a forfeit.

    Initially a 3-0 victory was awarded to team B in 2nd leg but this was later changed to 10-0, thus eliminating Team A from the competition.

    I'd imagine for a cup the forfeit means they forfeit their place in the cup and the other team progresses regardless of what the first leg result is.

    Was John Delaney involved in this :)

    Sounds like tmaking rules up as they go along, forfeited matches are always 3-0
