J Riley:  All games being called off will be put back on accordingly.

J Craig:  Nothing

K Mather:  Registrations should be up to date, however if you add anyone please let me know as I only check sporadically now.

D Hodgkiss:  Kick off times need to be notified to the referees.
It is the home team’s responsibility and we are getting calls on the day from away teams on the day chasing referees as no communication has been had with the home team.
Respect the referees decisions in games regardless, as they will make mistakes. Please don’t confront at the end of games as this will be seen as intimidation and will be reported to the FA.

AOB:  De La Salle under scrutiny.
