The Next CYFL meeting is on Monday 8th March at Cheshunt FC at 8pm
IMPORTANT NOTE: Hi all, I have just returned from Holiday. Fixtures will be posted by the end of play Monday (very late) I will try to keep any fixtures already posted, and just add any teams that are not allocated a game. Please check tomorrow morning though (just to be on the safe side)
Please Note: if you do not formally request a postponement, and then a week before a game realise you are short, please dont even ask. I will not under any circumstances grant a postponement outside the 21 days so please save the sob stories about Jonnies broken toe. Also please be aware that asking for a postponement and getting one are two completely differnt things. After you ask for a postponement it will be assessed on: The reason for the request, and the impact it has on fixtures. Postponements are completely discretionary so dont be disapointed or angry if they are turned down.
Club Secretaries - Check your Details?
Everybody in the league relies on the details provided by clubs and recorded on the website. Whether it is a league officer sending out information, a home club wishing to confirm a match or referees and players looking for venue details, everybody turns to the website.
Many of the membership forms that come in at this time of the year show changes in club officers, team colours (check with the general secretary before changing yours), new grounds (inspection required?) and other key information. Please make sure you check the details recorded for your club and update them where necessary.
I have sent emails with website logging-in details to all club officers. Should you need a reminder please let me know and I will re-send them.
Is Your Email Address Correct?
League rules say that every club must have a monitored email address. If yours hasn't charges could follow.
As is described in fuller detail below, it is a league requirement for clubs to use the website to enter their match result cards and to record goal scorers. Please make sure that your club is equipped and organised to do this.
Ideally the club secretary would be the club officer with access to the internet and email. Other club members can be designated as your contact point but they must appreciate that the league will expect them to provide a consistent and reliable link to the club in the secretary's place.
If you would like additional usernames and passwords for anyone in your club (who may be operating as your internet and email "officer" for example) please let me know and I will set them up and email them their logging-on details.
CHOOSING KIT - AVOID COLOUR CLASHES The Wrong Choice Can Dampen Club Spirits
Clubs replacing their kit need to bear two factors in mind. Firstly, all colour changes - shirts, shorts and/or socks - MUST be approved by the league before the kit is purchased. Secondly, shirts must not clash with the referee's black tunic which they MUST wear in all Herts FA regulated matches.
It has been on the website before but a recent incident of a club buying a kit rejected by the county because it is too close to the referee's black means it will probably do no harm to repeat the advice.
If you are replacing your kit and changing the colour or style (ie from plain to stripes or from hoops to plain etc) you must get the approval of the league's general secretary first.
If you choose a kit which is sufficiently dark as to raise concerns then it will not be approved. This applies to stripes and hoops where the overall effect is of a colour near to or indistinguishable from the referee's black.
Goalkeepers' jerseys must not be black, nor (dark) navy blue and must be distinguishable from both teams and the opposition goalkeeper.
Do not ignore these requirements. We don't want to rain on anyone's parade unecessarily but we will enforce these rules even when it causes member clubs additional expense which can be considerable where an unacceptable kit has already been purchased.
Club Announcements
We warmly encourage clubs to send in announcements about their activities etc which we will be pleased to publish here.
If you are looking for new playing personnel, a sponsor, a manager, whatever, and feel that publicity on this site might help then get in touch.
This headline could so easily describe the scene in your clubhouse on a Saturday as the league's results come in.
You can just picture the excitement amongst your players as they watch the County league tables change before their eyes as Audrey and the wonder of the web do their stuff.
If you have a TV in your clubhouse, connecting it to the internet via a cheap PC and a dial-up telephone connection is easy, costs pennies and is immensely interesting (that bit's not true, possibly).
Watch your team's fortunes ebb and flow on the telly - for more details get in touch.
