The FA has announced that Sutton United's FA Trophy clash with Concord Rangers is to be replayed.

The original game, won by Rangers 3-1, was called into question when the Essex side admitted fielding an ineligible player called Jordan Cox, who scored in the game.

Cox was on loan from Braintree Town, and while Rangers' chairman Antony Smith had permission from the club to play him in the trophy match, the FA had not been informed.

Smith admitted he did not know the FA needed to be told, and because the club secretary was away, it was never followed up.

Now the third round qualifier will be replayed to a finish at Gander Green Lane on December 16.

The FA did decide that United would keep the gate receipts from the original tie, and Rangers must fund their own travel costs next week.

Sutton United declined to comment.

Lowestoft Town await the winners.
