The Lions romped to victory 6-0 to complete the second part of a league and cup double, but it remains unclear whether or not the match will be replayed or awarded to the Tigers.

MMFL chairman Stuart Lustigman said: “We have been investigating the matter with the full co-operation of Maccabi London Lions and it appears that one of their players had not played the requisite number of matches in order to qualify to play in the final.
