"Unfair advantage" was the stated reason. Apparently, equality sometimes means extra help for some, and restrictions on others to be "fair".

The funny thing to all that was "the governing body" outlawed boys from playing.
If they would have let them play there would have been an "arms race" of sorts and within a few years all the teams that wanted to win would have had a number of boys playing.
