The Malta FA Protests Board yesterday dismissed the complaint lodged by St George's over the result of last week's Division One replay against Vittoriosa Stars, which the latter won 2-1.

The Saints contended that Vittoriosa had fielded an ineligible player, Ndubisi Chukunyere. They deemed that the Nigerian striker should have skipped the match as he was banned for the original fixture played on December 27.

However, the Protests Board, after consulting the regulations, dismissed the complaint and decided that the result should stand.
