The Wingmakers accepted a charge under FAW Rule 38.1 ‘violate the Laws of the Game or the Rules or any Regulation or violate the FIFA Rules or UEFA Rules’ for a breach of Rules 57.1 and 57.3 which centre around the registration of players prior to playing in a match.

Airbus UK were warned as to their future conduct, fined £425.00 and deducted 1 point from their Welsh Premier League First Phase record.

The Club have until Friday, 7th February 2014 to submit an appeal against the decision of the Disciplinary Panel.

The charge an subsequent punishment relates to the signing of  Former Newtown captain Andrew Jones, he signed for the Wingmakers at the start of the year and featured in an away match at Port Talbot Town.
