Ideally we would like the two age groups to be played on Sunday28th of March if possible. if there are any clubs who can help out please email Russ asa matter of urgency.

If we cannot find venues the players will not be able to have their Plate Competition.

Stoke hill Under 12's

24/02/2010 09:12

For some time now, it seems that every Saturday I get a call questioning the eligibility of players from the Stoke Hill Under 12's side. Please let me put the record straight and let's hope that it will stop the constant enquries.

Stoke Hill Under 12s have a great squad of players and that squad was bolstered by  two talented lads that joined during the season. The league have been presented with documentary evidence to show the lads as being TOTALLY ELIGIBLE  to play for their team at that age group.

This message is not aimed at any one team or any individual, and I understand as much as the next person that when you play in a team sport, you want it to be a fair and level playing field, and everybody has a right to know that their oppositions players are eligible players.

If the players from the opposition have ID cards (or emergency slips in some cases), then they are eligible to play. so please make sure ID cards are checked in the correct manner prior to games starting and there should then be no need for further enquiries.

Leafield Athletic Under 15s side looking for a game

24/02/2010 09:07

Leafield Athletic Under 15's a football team from Solihull we will be staying in Torquay on the weekend of 2nd to 4th of July 2010. In their own words "we are a friendly bunch,who would love the opportunity of playing in a competition/friendly in or around the area on the above dates".

Anybody who is interested or knows of a team they might be able to get a game against please contact Gerry Reidy keirichconstruction@hotmail.com who will be delighted to hear from you

A reminder to all managers

23/02/2010 08:31

We have heard that there are a number of home managers having difficulty re-arranging fixtures with reluctant opposition managers.

Rule 10 C I, ii, and iii are quite clear.

In the event of two dates being given by the host club/team, one will be backed by the League (with very few exceptions). 

Please find below the excerpt from the current handbook. 

10 (C) (i) If the away team have an available pitch that is playable the game is to be switched and played on the same date.

(ii) If neither pitch is playable league games will be re-scheduled mutually between the two managers for a future date. The home team manager should give two dates of choice. 

If neither date is acceptable the league Secretary should be informed and a date for the game to be played will be set by the League.

(iii) Where the league is forced to set a date for a league game; if either team are unable to play on that date the game will be declared void with the defaulting team being deducted a minimum of 1point - up to a maximum of 3 points. 

Please do what you can to get your games played. At the moment, there is no provision for double-headers or any other way of getting results decided without actually playing. 

Secondly, having warned clubs about unpaid fines before, it is disappointing to note that the League has a number still outstanding.

If your club receives a fine of, say, £5, there will be a surcharge of £10 if the original fine is not paid within the 14 days after the date of the fine. 

Rule 5 (H)  All fines and charges shall be paid within 14 days of the date of posting of the written notification. .

Clubs, Officials or individuals committing a breach of this Rule will be fined a further £10 or otherwise penalised at the discretion of the Management Committee. 

We need to be quite clear - if your club/team has not paid the first or second fine, the next, additional fine, is likely to be heavier still.

Furthermore, subject to the views of the League Committee, any club not paying the original fine within 14 days, or the additional fine, also runs the risk of having points deducted. 

Remember, by and large, this affects the competitive age groups only (i.e. u11 and above).

Remember also, that all clubs agreed to be bound by the Rules in the League handbook. 

This is your League, help us make it work for you!

1st of March Transfer window closes

19/02/2010 08:37

Please ensure if you are looking to transfer players, ALL transfers must be complete by 1st March in the playing season as per RULE 8 (f) in the Qualification of Players section of the handbook

Transfers sent in after that date  will not be considered.

18/02/2010 10:39

U12s and U13s Plate Competition

17/02/2010 08:55

As the two plate days are currently scheduled to be played to a climax on the day, we have extended the times for the semi finals and the final to ensure there is a sufficient time in those games to find the footballing winners. We are still awaiting to hear dates for the Plate days, if they are in the near future and we are able to securea seperate venue, there is a likelihood the finals for those two age groupswill be moved to a day on their own.

Please bear with us whilst we endeavour to make this happen.

Exmouth Eagles withdraw from the league

17/02/2010 08:52

It is with great regret, we have ot report another loss at the U13s age group. Due to lack of players Exmouth Eagles have now officially withdrawn from the league.

All results for the game in which thye played have been expunged and fixtures removed from the fixture list, U13 division 1 managers, please check the fixtures list as you will no doubt finda gap or two now.

Potential Pools Panel

15/02/2010 14:27

Before you read this - please bear in mind it is not something that is cast in stone, it is simply a possible scenario on how the outcome of the Championships in each age group are decided.

It is quite possible that there will be a number of unfulfilled fixtures by the end of the season.

In the interests of all those clubs who wanted competitive leagues with the outcome to include, Champions, Runners-Up, as well as promotions and relegations, in the event that there are unfulfilled fixtures at 6th May 2010, then the League is considering a Pools Panel, where results for unfulfilled fixtures are determined by a panel. 

This does not mean that teams can simply cry off without good reason (Rule 10B for unfulfilled fixtures) but this has been an extraordinary year. 

This may well have to be cleared by Devon FA but we would value as many views and comments, together with solutions from all teams in the u11 to u14 age groups please.

I have to report the sad news again, that we have lost another team - Feniton U11s due to lack of players.

Over the coming days I will be sending out a newsletter to all club secreataries and managers with an idea the league have that may combat this for next season.

Beacon Knights U12's withdraw from the league

22/01/2010 10:56

It is with a very heavy heart that I have to report that Beacon Knights Under 12s team have had no alternative to pull out of the league. they have been struggling for some time to get new players in and the number of players has not risen making it almost impossible at times for them to field a team. Having spoken with Steven Rowland the club chairman this morning, he gave the official confirmation that for this season they would have to withdraw. I am sure those of you who have had any dealing with Steve and Karly will agree that it is a great loss after the great support they have shown the league over past seasons. the decision will not effect any of the other Beacon Knights teams, who all remain strong and competitive in the respective age groups/divisions.

All results that have previously been recorded for teams who have played Beacon Knights U12s in the league have been expunged and U12 managers in division 1 should check the fixtures list as all futue fixtures have also been removed.

Hopefully we will see them back again next season. The league offer their thanks to Karly Pearce for all her hard work and determination in keeping the lads together and wish her every success in whatever road she decides to take next.

They are hoping to have new faces in the near future and the league wish them every success in getting a team back together. 

In the meantime if there are any clubs with U8s who would be looking to play friendlies on  a Sunday ( and could perhaps loan the Whipton lads a couple of players on the day then please contact Jamie (jamie@whiptonyouth.co.uk ) as the lads that are still there are desperate to play some football. 

With teams that this effects in terms of matchday venues, please liaise between yourselves and inform the League Secretary of new venue so as the fixtures list can be updated accordingly.
