The two sides recently played out a 1-1 draw, in a game which Jordan Adebayo-Smith opened his account for the Blues, only to be pegged back when former Trinity youngster Elliot Wilson looped a header home. Lincoln United then went on to win the game 0-3 on penalties, to progress, but news now reaches us, that the result of this tie is under investigation.

Following communication with league officials, we have been informed that Lincoln United are the focus of this investigation. As such, we wish to clear our name of any construed wrongdoing. Until the case to answer exceeds the given seven day appeal period (next Friday) we will be unable to make any further comment.

Those of you who know us behind the scenes, we like to deal in fact, so can only apologise for the lack of clarity currently regarding this situation. We hope for a quick resolution, so we can continue our focus on our recent upturn in league form.
