Teamsheets should be fully completed for next season to help the competition manage player eligibility, ineligibility and suspensions.

Use of subs

Goal scorers

Yellow and red cards and minutes of goals will be requested for 2023-24

Currently only player names and ref marks are added by all teams. Some teams already do this and the process will be explained at the Club Sec meeting

Any Other Business.

The AGM will be held on 26 June and the SGM on 31 July, both at Rivets Sports and Social Club. We would like to remind you that we need one representative per team, not per club. Despite several reminders last season three clubs still received fines for not adhering to this rule.

There was discussion about distribution of funds to aid clubs.

Clubs are reminded about the rule that kits should not be in dark colours, also it is an FA ruling that under armour should be matching with the kit.

June 1st has been set for interviewing new clubs.

Congratulations from the league to Sophie Dennington on her appointment to the FA Wom-ens Cup Final next weekend.

The meeting closed at 9.10 p.m. The next meeting was arranged for 6 June 2023

The complaint concerning Great Missenden and Wendover has been closed, as no further

Information was received by the Berks and Bucks FA about the incident.

Wendover Reserves played Ludgershall while under suspension on 12 November by Berks and Bucks FA, the game is therefore awarded to Ludgershall. Wendover fined £50 rule20e

One team asked if they could be excused the four games criteria if they reach the finals of a Cup game, as one player is injured and not likely to be fit until the finals. This was denied.

Teams are strongly reminded that they should not put derogatory comments about other teams, players, etc. on social media. This is not acceptable.
