07 April 2009 16:02
Five players have been charged with breaching the Football Association's betting rules with some alleged to have gambled thousands of pounds on their team to lose. The scandal relates to Accrington's final game of the last League Two season at home to Bury. Four players then at Accrington - Jay Harris, David Mannix, Robert Williams and Peter Cavanagh - and Andrew Mangan, who was at Bury, have been charged with betting on a win for the visitors. Both Harris and Cavanagh played in the game which ended 2-0 to Bury. An Accrington statement read: "Accrington Stanley are aware that two of our players have been charged by the Football Association in connection with betting on football matches. "They have until later to this month to respond to the charges and we will await until the Football Association reach a final verdict before any action is taken by the club."
