Orlando Pirates Reserves Awarded Points After PSL DC Decision

Orlando Pirates Reserves Awarded Points After PSL DC Decision

Orlando Pirates' Diski Challenge team were awarded three points after Chippa United pleaded guilty to fielding a suspended player in their clash.

Majavu confirmed this week that the club will be appearing before the Disciplinary Committee for fielding Ridwaan Serfontein against Pirates, even though he was suspended after receiving four yellow cards.

Both Chippa and Serfontein pleaded guilty to the charges and were subsequently sanctioned.

"Both Chippa and Mr Serfontein were charged, facing the contravention of him being fielded by his club Chippa United when he had been a recipient of four consecutive cautions, and in the result, he ought to have sat out the next match, which he did not," Majavu said, via the PSL media department.

"Having listened to the submissions made by both the prosecutor and the respondents' representatives, the PSL DC decided on the following sanction, which is not necessarily in line with the submissions made by either the prosecutor and the representatives of the respondents, and in fact, the DC is perfectly entitled to make its own independent sanction regardless of what either of the parties proposes.

'Chippa United was ordered to forfeit the match on a scoreline of 3-0. Two, Mr Serfontein was sanctioned with a two-match ban to start from the date of the ruling.

"Chippa United was also fined an amount of R25000, which is suspended for a period 12 months on the condition during the suspension, they are not found guilty of the same offence.

"They (Chippa) were also ordered to pay the costs of the sitting."
