Pitch Booking System

You will shortly receive information about your fixtures for season 0809. Your next task will then to be reserve a pitch for your home games and contact a referee to officiate.

I am currently working on a process to notify our qualified Club referees of match opportunities. It is important we utilize all of our refs rather than selecting one favourite throughout the season. Our goal must be to keep all of them employed officiating matches, building experience and confidence. Selection of one or two favourites could mean that some give up and we will then have less referees to share between us.

I will shortly be announcing how the referee notification process will work but in preparation can I ask that when logging into the Pitch Booking System (PBS) you select "User List" at the top right of the screen. Once selected please review the email address that you have listed, and correct if necessary.

If the correct email address is provided you should receive confirmation of each pitch booking you make. It is this mail that will be used to contact the referees (so don't delete the mails just yet, you will need them to make a referee request).

If you don't know your PBS login name or password then please get in touch. As you can appreciate the PBS is a key element in sharing our limited pitch resources without the conflict of four teams appearing at the ground to play on the same pitch. Remember, all matches should have a PBS reservation to avoid this awkward situation.
