In a Pompey Women statement, chairman Eric Coleborn said: ‘I would like to thank my hard-working volunteer staff for dealing with this matter in such a professional manner. We are also grateful to the FA Women’s National League for hearing our case and overturning the deduction.’

Pompey Women sealed their spot in the Women's Hampshire Senior Cup final - where arch-rivals Southampton FC Women await - following a 2-1 last-four win over city rivals Moneyfields at Westleigh Park last weekend.

Sadler's side return to league action on Sunday, where they face a tough trip to second-placed Oxford United Women.
