Racist chanting was alleged to have been aimed at stand in Bucks skipper Matthew Barnes-Homer during the penalty shoot out in the Huddersfield Cup, which was won by Alport at their Yockings Park ground.

An investigation was launched but following reviews of photo and video evidence, as well as communication with supporters in the area, Alport found no evidence of racism.
