Bognor have been hit with a seven-point penalty for fielding an inelligible player.

The Rocks are planning to appeal against the judgement which came at a meeting of the Football Conference today.

Bognor were found guilty of failing to register summer signing Sam Pearce properly during a random check.

Pearce played has started 17 games and come on as a substitute three times this season.

The Rocks are furious with the decision as Oxford United were given a five-point penalty and Crawley a four-point deduction for similar infringements.
