Only players with a valid 2011-2012 ID Card with a registration date of June 2011 onwards season are permitted to play. 15 players = they show you 15 ID Cards, if they only have 14 players with ID Cards then only these players play. The player without an ID Card no matter what the excuse does not play. There is no exception to this rule.

The rule about signing a piece of paper only applies if the opposition manager for some strange reason forgets his TEAMS ID Cards, then all the players present need to prints their Name and DOB and sign alongside it. This then needs to be sent to the registration secretary for that age group. U7 U8 U9 U10 U13 U16 U18  to Tracy Hudson U11 U12 U14 U15  to Dave Sharp. Failure to have and show your ID Cards at a game carries a minimum £25

Officers will be out and about during the season. Please exchange your ID Cards and do a card check, it will take 5 minutes. If officers are at games where card checks are not carried out, the teams will be fined a minimum £25 and other disciplinary measures may be taken against them.

After the initial bulk at the start of the season Registrations need to be with the relevant officer by Tuesday, to have them returned for the coming Sunday game.

 We’  have had reports that Graham Cracknell has begun refereeing some youth clubs again. Graham is a former referee that we have had a number of problems with. He is not a registered referee and has spent a number of years trying to get around the rules and I believe he may now be telling clubs that he is registered with Berks and Bucks FA which is also not true. I would be very grateful if you could advise your clubs not to use him. Nick Perchard Herts FA Chief Executive
