As we gear up for the start of the 2024/25 Mid Lancashire Football League season this Saturday, 17th August, we’d like to remind all team contacts of a few essential guidelines and deadlines to ensure a smooth start to the season.
Player Registration and Eligibility
Before fielding any players, it is crucial that all teams double-check that their players are fully registered and eligible to play. This includes ensuring that no players are currently suspended. Playing an unregistered or suspended player could lead to serious consequences, including fines or points deductions, so please take the time to verify your squad’s status.
If you encounter any issues or have questions regarding player registration, please reach out to Albert Newton as soon as possible. He is available to assist with any registration concerns.
Upcoming Fixtures
The fixtures for the remainder of August have been released and are now available on the league’s official website. Teams should prepare accordingly to meet all match obligations.
Please note that the first round of the Guildhall Cup is scheduled for 21st September. Teams involved should start preparing well in advance to ensure they are fully ready for the competition.
Post-Match Responsibilities
After each match, teams are required to follow these steps:
- Score Submission:
- The match score must be uploaded to Full Time within 60 minutes of the match’s conclusion. This can be done via text or through the league website.
- Team-Sheet Submission:
- Teams have a window of two days (48 hours) post-match to upload their team-sheet to Full Time. This submission should include details such as the goal scorers, times of goals, and substitutions used during the match.
- Failure to submit the team-sheet within this timeframe will result in a fine. Please ensure your team avoids unnecessary penalties by adhering to this deadline.
- Referee Scoring:
- As part of the team-sheet submission process, teams are also required to score the referee. This step is mandatory and must be completed before the team-sheet can be officially uploaded.
Photographs for Weekly Roundup
If any teams have photographers who capture matchday moments, we encourage you to share these images with us. Please email your photos to web.admin@midlancsfl.com so they can be featured in our weekly roundup. Make sure to include the photographer’s name so we can give proper credit.
Thank you for your attention to these details, and best of luck to all teams as we kick off what promises to be another exciting season of football in the Mid Lancashire Football League!
