MWYML: League Cup (Round Two)

Any player who has transferred to DHUFC but played in a previous round for their former club may not play in the cup for your team.

Remember the rules for penalty shoot outs.

Postponing a cup game without a valid reason, as per rule book, will result in a walkover for your opponents.

If your cup game is postponed legitimately then only the players available on the due date are eligible for the re-dated game.

Any re-dated cup game must be played the following week as this takes precedence over a league game, however, if the new date falls on a county cup date then that would take precedence.

If there is anything at all you are not sure about with reference to the rules regarding cup competitions please consult your league handbook, the Wilts FA handbook, the FA handbook, the international FIFA rules, or failing that contact me or another committee member.

Falling foul of the rules can lead to teams being eliminated, this causes great upset to the children involved when ignorance of the rules is usually to blame.

Match to be played 3rd November

Under 9s

• Larkhall Athletic B V Derry Hill United FC

Spring Tours

Early I know, but now is the time to be canvassing for interest, planning and booking a Spring football tour.

Not something everyone wants to do I know, and indeed, there is no pressure for any group to do such an activity. However if you do want to explore this as an option for your squad then please get in touch over the next two weeks and we can talk you through our experience of last season when we took the Flames on a 5 day tour to Mullion Cove, Cornwall.

The Club is pleased to offer touring teams funding of up to £100 (this usually covers the football fees levied by the tour companies). Prices vary to suit most pockets (from £80+ pp), a wide range of destinations, dates and durations are also available.

We had a great time last season and can highly recommend the experience to any group that was interested in going.

MWYML: Wearing of Jewellery

Some players are taking to the field wearing earrings. The wearing of jewellery is not allowed under Football Association rules. A number of cases have been pointed out in the mini soccer age groups, some as young as under 7!

All managers, coaches and referees should be aware of the FA’s ruling on this issue.
