Apologies there were none
Congratulations to Kevin Saw who was chosen to referee the ESFA National Under 13 Cup Final at West Bromwich between Thames Telford School and Upton Grammar School on 23 May.
The Minutes: of the meeting of 1 May 2024 were agreed
Matters Arising:
The Marsworth Cup and the Thomas Field Shield are separate competitions to the ADFL
Cups and therefore need to be separated from the main body of the ADFL Minutes.
On 11 May Peter and Kevin attended a game at Aylesbury Prison between the prisoners and Berks and Bucks representatives. They will speak about this at the AGM.
Clubs were emailed to discover whether they would use Aylesbury Council pitches if they were in a better condition and less expensive. Five have replied positively.
It is worth noting that Berks and Bucks have the ability to provide a grant for clubs with their own pitches that need improvement. Contact Berks and Bucks for further details.
Good quality footballs have now been obtained for Cup Finals.
Correspondence:
We have had correspondence from Buckinghamshire Council about clubs signing up for a Smokefree Sidelines campaign, they informed us that some clubs have already done this. The Committee felt this would be impossible to enforce.
The Secretary of Oving FC will be Paula Cairney, with immediate effect. The email address is secretary.ovingfc@gmail.com
