John Stabler withdrew the team after Darlington refused to postpone the tie for a week. We were short of players through injury and work commitments and would have been unable to field a suitable front row.
Now the RFU has withdrawn the £2,000 we would have been entitled to from qualification for this year's senior competition, and banned the club from taking part in any cup competitions next season.
Club Chairman Ron Greig will write to the RFU and says: "In addition to our problems in the front row for that game there are other circumstances which we feel need reviewing."
Meanwhile the Under 18's are under a four match "probation" following the complaint from Stockton about the game at Brinkburn. The visiting side was withdrawn early in the second half.
