9.                   Alteration to League Rules of which Notice has been given

 

·         John Sparkes advised that the proposed Alterations to League Rules had been circulated to members and asked members to advise if there were any alterations that they were not happy with.

 

·         Farncombe Youth expressed concern at the proposed pitch sizes, especially for Under 16s and the Women’s League.  A general discussion followed during which Alan Clarke, the SCWGL Child Protection Officer, advised that he has been meeting with the FA in an effort to clarify pitch sizes.  Ottershaw Girls advised that they are reliant upon Council pitches and have no control over the pitches which are marked out.  It was decided that the reference to pitch sizes would be deleted from the rule changes.  However, the goal post sizes would remain in the Rules.

·         Members queried the restriction on the number of players who could be registered for each squad.  Karen Bailey explained that the restriction was to prevent teams from “stock piling” players who are then cross-registered with other Leagues.  These teams then tend to use their “best” players for Cup matches.  Some teams have as many as 28 players registered for an 11-a-side team and they cannot possibly give all the players their fair share of football.  Members requested that the limit for 11-a-side teams be increased from 18 to 20.  This was put to the vote:-

For         :       29

Against    :       2

Vote carried for limit to be increased to 20 for 11-a-side teams

 

·         The Alterations to League Rules (as circulated but with the deletion of pitch sizes and the increase of the squad size to 20).

    Proposed   :       Roundshaw

    Seconded  :       Rocks Lane

Unanimously accepted; no objections; no abstentions; vote carried.

 

10.        Set Date for Conclusion of Playing Season

 

       The playing season will begin on 11th September 2005 and end on 7th May 2006.

     Proposed  :       Maidenhead Girls FC

     Seconded :       Croydon Girls FC

       Unanimously accepted; no objections; no abstentions; vote carried.

 

11.                 Any Other Business of which Notice has been given

 

None.

 

12.        General

 

John Sparkes wished everyone a restful summer and good luck for the forthcoming season.
