The Henwood Park Football Club, an affiliated club to Football Wagga Wagga, entered its Pascoe Cup team in the prestigious 2008 Football New South Wales Bill Cullinan Cup (State Cup) Competition.

Henwood Park played in the second round of this competition on Sunday 18th May 2008 against Quakers Hill Junior Soccer Club in Sydney. The result officially reported to Football Wagga Wagga was that Henwood Park defeated Quakers Hill by 3 goals to 2.

On Tuesday 20th May 2008, Henwood Park Football Club President Mr Rod Buik contacted Mr Larry Grant, Football New South Wales Community Competitions Manager, to advise that the result reported was false. The match had actually been won on the park by Quakers Hill defeating Henwood Park by 3 goals to 2.

Football New South Wales held a General Purposes Tribunal on Tuesday 27th May 2008 to investigate the matter. Findings of unsporting and unprofessional conduct, and bringing the game into disrepute have been made. Significant penalties have been imposed against individuals, the teams (as distinct from their parent club - both of which were found not guilty) and (in a state first) the match referee.

Due to Lake Albert withdrawing one team from the Blake Trophy competition this week the draw will need to be re-done. For the purposes of the draw Game 5 on 1st June will be recorded as shown below.
