Cerys plays for Leigh Genesis in Greater Manchester Women’s League Division 2 .

She was charged with asking a transgender opponent with “a beard”: “Are you a man?” She denied the charges but was found guilty by a National Serious Case Panel and banned for six games four of which were suspended for 12 months .

Cerys served her two -match suspension before being granted permission to appeal.

Her appeal board of the FA quashed the ruling against her in a damning and alarming judgment.

Cerys says she does not feel sorry for transgender women who will soon be forced to play in men’s or mixed competitions.

She says she is definitely’ owed an apology from her county FA.

Cerys is not the only teenager to have been handed a six -match ban after asking whether adult transgender opponents she was playing against were men.

A second player sanctioned in November is trying to get a guilty verdict overturned.
