Well done to all. A fantastic season and a great end to it today.

Fantastic result today with particular mention to Kac for an excellent Hat Trick

This season we once again kick off in division 4 and hoping to push on with our strong ending we had to the last season.

The FA has provided an update on ‘non-elite’ football in advance of Step 4 of the Government’s roadmap.

On Monday 19 July, England will move to Step 4 of its roadmap in easing COVID-19 restrictions.

This means that almost all legal restrictions of social contact will be removed. However, the Government is encouraging people to act with caution. Our guidance has therefore been updated to reflect this.

This updated guidance which covers Steps 3-6 of the National League System (NLS), Tiers 3-6 of the Women’s Football Pyramid and grassroots football (including Regional NLS Feeder Leagues), comes into effect on Monday 19 July and until then all participants should follow our guidance for Step 3. You can read the Government guidance here.

The full guidance documents can be downloaded below and should be referred to for further details. The summary key points are:

1. On field adaptions for playing football are no longer required.
2. No limits of how many people can meet.
3. One metre plus rule removed.
4. The definition of close contact remains the same, however the rules on self-isolation will be changing from 16 August.
5. Face coverings no longer required by law, but recommended in crowded indoor settings and may be mandated by some clubs or facility providers.
6. Changing rooms can be used, however participants should use their own judgement and minimise use where possible to avoid close contact in a crowded area for a prolonged time.
7. No capacity limits for spectators but good practice is encouraged.
8. Hospitality is permitted without restrictions.
9. NHS Test and Trace QR codes not required by law but encouraged.
10. Free NHS lateral flow testing is available to clubs and we encourage clubs to take this up.
11. No domestic travel restrictions. Participants should continue to follow Government advice on international travel for any fixtures/ tournaments.

This guidance document applies to all youth and adult football and Futsal, including all formats of the game, both indoors and outdoors.

We would like to thank you once again for playing your part in helping to get our game going again. By observing Government guidance and the football-specific protocols, we can look forward to ensuring the transition back to enjoying football is as smooth and safe as possible.

Can I ask you to help share like and repost the next post please. Thank you

COMPETITION!!!

This is open to all age groups /teams.
As you can see these pictures are blank and in need of design. The competition is to design your own football kit the long sleeved one is a goalkeeper kit it would be nice if the shirt sponsor could be NHS or some other key worker group. And I want to see plenty of colour!!!!! There will be a prize for the best design! Once your kit has been done please post it in the comments below so we can all see them also attach name and age (maybe on the back of the shirt) to photo so we can see who has done them.

Happy designing we look forward to seeing your kits soon. The closing date for this is sunday 10th May
