Clitheroe have been thrown out of the FA Trophy for fielding an ineligible player in their second qualifying round tie against Rushall Olympic. The 3 November game finished as a 1-1 draw, but Clitheroe's Kieran Fletcher played while under a suspension.
An FA Trophy protest sub-committee ruled that Clitheroe should be removed, and Rushall would be awarded the tie.
Rushall will now host Ossett Town in the third qualifying round on Saturday, 24 November.
That round sees Blue Square North and South clubs enter the competition, while the 24 top-flight Conference teams are exempt until the first round proper, on 15 December.
