10 JULY – League Update - League Rules - County FA Affiliation

LEAGUE UPDATE The League has unfortunately accepted the resignation of Royal Oak (Dronfield), but we are very hopeful that we have another team to replace them in Division 2 - we will let you know when it is a definite.

All clubs were asked to email keithsssl@aol.com to confirm that the details shown in the Clubs section of the League website is correct for your club, or let him know of any changes, but as yet, very few have responded to say they are correct, or provide any changes - this really needs to be done BY EMAIL quickly as Keith will be going to the Fixtures meeting with other leagues soon.

LEAGUE RULES The League Rules etc page has been updated to now include The FA Standard Code of Rules - you can find them and all the League Rules etc using the Management link shown on this page. All clubs should be aware of all the rules.

COUNTY FA AFFILIATION If you haven't yet started, you should get on with the County FA Affiliation - you are not allowed to play any games, including friendlies, until you have completed your affiliation with the County FA and paid your League Fees. Don't forget your manager and any coaches must also complete the online Safeguarding course to be able to complete your affiliation.

27 JUNE – DIV 1 – The League Tables for Division 1 have been adjusted due to an ineligible player – The League Tables for Division 1 have been adjusted due to an ineligible player playing in 5 games for Jubilee Rangers. It means that several teams have received additional points as the results of the games were awarded to them and Jubilee Rangers were deducted 12 points - the maximum allowed by The FA. The player's registration was accepted onto the Whole Game System, but he was under contract to a Saturday club and therefore ineligible. Unfortunately, the system that registers a player's contact isn't linked to the Whole Game System and because the player had not told Jubilee Rangers he had a contract they were unaware he was ineligible. As soon as they were notified by the County FA they deregistered the player and did not dispute that he had played in the 5 games he had appeared on the team sheet. At no stage did they try to hide the fact that the player had played in any games. The only impact on the Division 1 table is that Boynton Sports are now runners-up and Jubilee Rangers finish 3rd. Neither promotion nor relegation is affected by the changes. We have only now been able to amend the tables after the League and County FA Discipline procedures have been completed.

23 JUNE – NEW TEAMS – The teams for next season are now shown in the Clubs section – The clubs for next season are now listed in the Clubs section of the League Website and include 6 new clubs. Existing clubs will be asked to approve them at the AGM on 1 July. Will all clubs, both existing and new please check the details of their club in the Clubs section and confirm by email to keithsssl@aol.com that they are either correct, or send any changes.

19 JUNE – LEAGUE AGM – The League AGM will be on Monday 1 July at Bramall Lane – The League will hold its AGM in the 1889 Suite in the South Stand (Tony Currie Stand) on Monday 1 July from 7pm onwards. Entrance is via Reception in the Main car park on Cherry Street - PLEASE NOTE THAT ACCESS TO CHERRY STREET IS VIA BRAMALL LANE ONLY AS ACCESS IS NOT POSSIBLE VIA SHOREHAM STREET.
