RFU statement on Yorkshire Carnegie

RFU have released a statement confirming that after careful consideration, and in compliance with RFU Regulations, they have determined that Yorkshire Carnegie can remain a participant of the Greene King IPA Championship for the 2019/20 season.

The board mentioned that the decision is subject to the club satisfying certain conditions relating to the entering into of a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA).

The statement read:

"As per RFU Regulation 5.3, a deduction of 28 points for Yorkshire Carnegie will be applicable in the 2019/20 season unless all creditors agree to the terms of the CVA by 9 August 2019.

"If the club stays up despite the points deduction, or would have been relegated anyway even without the points deduction, then there is a further deduction in the following season."


The board also concluded that the case remains subject to review.
