| QUALIFICATION FOR
LEAGUE CUP
Players must have played at least 2 League games for the Club in the
current season before they are eligible to play in the cup competition.
Substitutes are eligible providing they have actually been brought on to
play (substitutes are deemed not to have played if it is not clearly
marked on the match report form)
It is a common mistake for team managers to forget to mark on the match
report form if a substitute has actually played and then to find their
team eliminated from the competition for playing an ineligible player.
RULE 17 C – MANAGEMENT & CONDUCT OF CLUBS
All clubs are responsible for the conduct and behaviour of their players,
officials and supporters and the following rules will be strictly
observed… Any person or Club found guilty of ‘misconduct’ shall be

The safety and well being of junior players must be the first

These matters should be brought to the attention of all parents and
supporters of your club
