Q What should we wear to play?
A. Preferrably teams should have matching kit and must wear shin pads. If required, we can provide bibs for teams to play in. Players can wear astro or moulded boots, strictly no blades or metal studs allowed.

Q. What time should we turn up to play?
A. You will be supplied with a full set of fixture lists and fixtures will also be available to view on our website. Before each game starts your team manager will need to pay for the game and show the receipt to the referee before the game can begin. Therefore, team managers should arrive a good 10 to 15 minutes prior to the game start time. (Hint: If you pay for a season in advance it does make things easier for the team manager.)

A. Our staff work very hard to confirm all games before hand. But on the odd occasion that your opposition doesn't show we try to arrange an alternative game for you.

Q. What happens if a team drops out of our league?
A. We do ask teams to sign up in advance for the full season. However, if a team does pull out we will try to replace them as quickly as possible. In the mean time we will try to arrange alternative games for your team.
