The Highland League have fined BoD £500 and deducted them 24 points for fielding ineligible players. There were 9 incidents of this in 8 league games so that's 3 points per game. Before the punishment they were 6th in the table with 23 points and now lie bottom with minus 1 point. This is their first season in the HFL but they should be able to avoid the bottom spot as they're only 3 points behind Strathspey Thistle who've played 2 more games than them. Interesting that the games weren't awarded 3-0 to the opposition which seems commonplace these days, so they retain their substantial goal difference.
One of the same players ineligibility also saw them kicked out of the Scottish Cup after beating Turriff in the first round.
