Warriors lose appeal against relegation

FRIDAY, 1.30PM:

MICHAU WARRIORS’ case against the Premier Soccer League disciplinary committee was on Wednesday night dismissed after an arbitration hearing in Johannesburg. Warriors’ lodged an appeal against the PSL, after the League committee ruled in favour of AmaZulu earlier this month, awarding them two points from their drawn match against Umtata Bush Bucks.

Premier Soccer League PRO Andrew Dipela said: “This means that Warriors have been relegated and AmaZulu stay in the Premier League.”

Warriors coach Budgie Byrne said the club will now decide whether to take the matter to court.
