Issue 19
Welcome to this weeks e-newsletter. The purpose of the e-newsletters is to keep you informed of news and events within the league and the wider grassroots football community.
The newsletter is emailed out to all club secretaries on a Friday and now also appears on the website (www.junleague.com).
**LEAGUE NOTICES**
- Please remember all results have to be reported by 6pm on Sunday evening. Please send all the results to results@junleague.com and League Cup/Trophy results must also be emailed to cupresults@junleague.com A number of people are emailing results to the League Secretary, which prevents the other people who access the results@junleague.com email address from viewing the results.
- A Reminder that the up-to-date contact details for all managers can be found on the League website (www.junleague.com) in the documents area.
- The Sheffield & Hallamshire Tesco Cup (U13) final will take place Sunday 28th February 2010 at Millmoor Juniors. Under instructions from the County Association, no under 13 fixtures can take place on this day.
- Any club wishing to hold the League Cup finals can apply to the League. Grounds must have changing rooms, catering facilities and good car parking. The finals will take place on the 28th March for the under 9s to under 15s. The under 16 finals will take place midweek under lights and the League have asked Stocksbridge (Cup) and Maltby (Trophy) to host them
- A reminder that postponement requests for fixtures must be made to the League Secretary 28 days or more in advance. The postponement request form can be downloaded from the League website. Please remember that Christmas period is coming up soon.
- All club secretaries are reminded that when they have received a standard match card fine i.e. no sporting points they must contact the age group registrar with the missing details (as well as pay the fine).
- A reminder that clubs can bring forward league fixtures, just let your age-group registrar know. If you find yourself with a blank week and also know that another team within your division is not playing please arrange to play your league fixture, as this will help everyone.
