Gainsborough Trinity are back in the BetVictor Northern Premier League‘s cup after Lincoln United were kicked out of the competition.
The Holy Blues and manager Curtis Woodhouse were handed a second chance on Wednesday when they were re-instated in the Integro League Cup after United were found guilty of playing an ineligible player in their second round meeting.
NPL South East Division Lincoln had won the tie 3-0 on penalties after a 3-3 draw.
NPL Premier Division Trinity will now host another NPL South East Division club, Kidsgrove Athletic, in the third round on Tuesday February 11.
According to an NPL statement, the date for the tie is subject to change because of Kidsgrove’s county cup commitments.
