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
