Coaching League Fixtures

After what has been a long summer,  the coaching leagues are back  on Friday night for under 10’s Eagles and Saturday for all other junior teams.  The MDL will yet again provide us and other teams in the NECSL with a facility to play.

This year  all playing areas will be strictly no smoking.   No parent or coach will be permitted to smoke in the vicinity of the playing fields.  The MDL will have a designated smoking area.

Only astro runners or ordinary runners to be worn on the pitch.

This year official photography only is permitted.  Where a game is being photographed by an official, they will have introduced themselves to the coaches and obtained  full permission from the teams.

It is important that  these rules are respected as it could prove upsetting  for both the Club and the individual were they to be asked to leave the venue.  As the NECSL has to look after the welfare of all children, these rules are important.

Please see below  for this weeks Fixtures.
