THE match is currently in the hands of the league as we wait to see if Staffordshire's appeal against the walkover given to Newcastle is successful.
Newcastle claimed that Staffordshire was unable to find a place to play as a freshers tournament was taking place on their home ground on the same day.
However the club managed to rearrange the tournaments fixtures to create a two hour gap for the men's game to take place, giving Newcastle plenty of warning of the arrangement.
