Israel's Premier League fixtures this weekend were postponed yesterday after clubs in danger of relegation complained that a technical win awarded to one of their rivals gave them an unfair advantage. Six of the seven clubs involved in relegation battles said they would not turn up for their weekend fixtures until they had heard the outcome of an appeal they plan to lodge with an IFA tribunal on Monday. The clubs will appeal against a 2-0 technical win awarded by a lower tribunal last week to Maccabi Herzliya following a pitch invasion in the 86th minute by Beitar Jerusalem supporters when Herzliya were trailing 1-0 in their match on April 13.
