BROMYARD have been deducted five points for failing to register a player.
The county side have already lost their opening three games in Midlands 3 West (South) following their promotion and now have it all to do to stay up.
Bromyard chairman Farmer Parker confirmed the player was not registered for the match against Upton-on-Severn earlier in the season.
"It was a clerical area for failing to register a player," said Parker.
"I think it's going to be a real struggle now, especially as Greg and George Leighton have got to play cricket in Austrlia."
Last Saturday, Bromyard picked up a losing bonus point after losing 17-10 to leaders Woodrush.
The home side led at half time thanks to a Jamie Gibbons try, but conceded two quick tries after the break.
A Bobby Ralph penalty narrowed the deficit, but Woodrush held on for the win.
In the same division, Ledbury beat Upton-on-Severn 46-12 thanks to five tries from Dan Sewell.
Marcus Ballinger and George Bennion also touched down, while Ben Smith kicked over a drop goal.
Greyhound picked up their second win of the season in Midlands 5 West (North) after beating St Leonards 20-17.
Elliot Phillips scored the decisive try – his second of the match – to win the game.
Liam Webdale also scored a try, with Chris Fisher adding the extras.
Ross-on-Wye meanwhile have now scored 200 points in Gloucester 2 after thrashing Bristol Aeroplane Company 71-0.
Marcus Bemand (four) and Matt King (three) shared the majority of the tires, with Thai Hayward, Jon Baynham, Gavin Oates and Louis Morgan also on the scoresheet.
