Havant & Waterlooville have been dealt a blow in their bid to be crowned National League South champions by the news that their appeal against Danny Kedwell’s sending off has failed.
The forward was dismissed in the surprise 2-1 home defeat to St Albans City at Westleigh Park last weekend.
He received a straight red card following an aerial challenge with the Saints’ defender Tom Bender.
As a result, Kedwell now starts a three-match suspension.
