Castleford amateur club Fryston have been banned from the Carnegie Challenge Cup for two years after failing to control the behaviour of their fans during two matches earlier this year.
A Rugby Football League tribunal heard that Fryston supporters made racist and homophobic chants towards opposition players during the club's second round tie against Bradford amateurs Dudley Hill and their third-round match at Championship club Batley.
Fryston were found to be in breach of the League's Respect Policy and operational rules, with the tribunal deciding their supporters' conduct was prejudicial to the interests of the game.
Leeds club Milford Marlins were fined £1,000 after the tribunal heard beer was thrown over match officials at the end of their third-round tie against Gateshead Thunder.
The fine was suspended for three years and will be payable if there is a repetition of similar behaviour at any match which comes under RFL jurisdiction during that period.
