MAIDEN UNITED PENALIZED

Maiden United are a step closer to relegation from division 1 after they were deducted three points on Monday for repeatedly failing to pay their players on time.
The Maids are now eight points adrift of safety at the foot of the table after being sanctioned by RFA for not delivering March’s salary to their squad.
It is the fourth instance of not paying players on time in the last nine months, having also done so in June, July and October of last year.
In January, the club had accepted a suspended penalty should they fail to make payments on time.
It’s a long way from their glory days in 2012 when they won the League Cup, and 2013 when they were League Champions.
