With the large number of secondary school teams, we are using every turf space available. This will mean you can be playing at one of the following venues. Please treat each venue with respect and PLEASE make sure all rubbish (empty drink bottles especially) are put in the rubbish bins before leaving the venue/turf.
The system of recording results will be through PlayHQ at the end of the fixture. It is recommended that Team Managers, Coaches, Umpires and Sports Co-ordinators are familiar with using PlayHQ. The person populating the digital card will need to check with the Umpires and Officials that the score, penalty cards and any injuries are correct. Training will be provided prior to the season commencing.
