The named team organiser will be responsible for ensuring that his team fulfils all the
fixtures at the correct times and for advising his players of their match times/dates as
per the website.
If for any reason, a team cannot fulfil a fixture, Tobias Taylor should be informed at
least 48 hours in advance.
Failure to turn up for a match at the stated time, without sufficient notice, will result in
a team receiving an automatic 5-0 defeat, deduction of 1 point and liability for the
match fee of £20. If a team fails to turn up 2 weeks in succession, or three times in
the season, they will be considered for withdrawal from the league.
If for any reason the assigned referee for the fixture does not turn up, the fixture
must still go ahead and teams must officiate themselves. Non-attendance of the
referee is not a valid reason for cancelation of the game.
Match fees pay for facility hire and staff time, while referees are an added bonus. If a
game does not take place due to a referee not attending, both teams will be
deducted 1 point and the game will be void.
All matches will take place at Sheffield Hallam Sports Park on Bawtry Road. Please
leave ample time in which to arrive prior to your match. There is a regular public bus
transport (numbers 70, 72/72A First). All of these buses are £1 each way with your
student card.
Please check which pitch your fixture is taking place on before you go to the ground.
