IMPORTANT NOTES FOR TEAM MANAGERS
 
 
HOLIDAYS, RELIGIOUS FESTIVALS, SCHOOL TRIPS
Over the last few years the number of requests for postponements due to school trips and religious festivals has increased considerably.
 
Breaks for Christmas and Easter are now considered normal, whereas, ten years ago these dates were part of the fixture programme.
More recently, School Trips and Ramadan have also entered into the football calendar with the effect that some teams may “lose” up to 7 weeks out of an average 32 week season due to holiday/religious breaks.
 
The effect of these extra breaks is that many teams end the season with a backlog of fixtures and, with this mind, the league now intends to issue fixtures for ALL dates during the season.
It is very important, therefore, to ensure that all team managers are informed of the following…

Any team wishing to postpone a game for

Christmas (30 Dec), Easter (23 Mar) or School Trips

MUST GIVE 28 DAYS NOTICE, IN WRITING,
to the League Secretary.
 
Any team failing to apply for a postponement must fulfill all fixtures as per league rules.
 
Please Note that this only applies to Ramadan, Christmas, Easter and School Trips.

All other fixtures must be fulfilled as per fixture list.
