Welcome to Season 2010
Hello and Happy New year to all, including Foundation Players, team Managers, Players that have joined us over the time that this competition has been up and running and of course new players that are or may be associating with us for the first time in 2010.
There will be some changes to the way in which the games are played this year. It is accepted that not every player may believe these are necessary or appropriate, however they have been implemented for the general good and to ensure that the true spirit of the competition continuous to be our paramount consideration - namely:-
[a] Playing football
[b] Sportsmanship
[c] Friendship
[d] Participation
[e] Fitness
[f] Fun
This is a good time to again remind all players that there are other competitions where more serious and competitive play is available and expected - if that is what they want or need.

Important Information
8 TEAMS
At this stage it looks as if the eight (8) existing teams will continue, being bolstered by new players joining the competition, possibly with some team name changes. I have had at least 10 recent new enquiries.
Players must be over 35 or turning 35 during the season, with a two (2) player exception rule per team of aged 30-35, unless otherwise authorised by the organising committee.
We will post contact details for all team managers shortly:
THE SEASON
It is anticipated that the first formal fixture of what will be a 21 game (3 Rounds) competition plus three (3) games for the final series will commence on 16th April 2010.
We will break for two (2) weeks with the show and have some potential for other breaks if the need arises (holidays, long weekends etc).
As usual, please have regard to the fact that the fixtures and playing schedule may be altered during the course of the season with all such alterations being notified to Managers and included in the website.

FITNESS
Competition organisers certainly encourage players recommencing play after years of absence to ensure that they are medically examined and are fit enough
and for previous players to again recommence fitness training prior to the season itself.
There has been a general experience of muscular strain and tears and this is particularly the case for players who have not played for some time or have not
properly prepared for the rigours of a 70 minute game.
PLAYER BEHAVIOUR
Bad behaviour will not be tolerated this year. Any players swearing at a Referee or Aggressive play towards an opponent player or any behaviour reported to the
Management Committee which is deemed not to be in the spirit or best interest of the competition will
be dealt with by the P.C.Y.C Disciplinary Committee and they face suspension or expulsion from the competition and/or game time suspension or fines.
As adopted in previous years, players fined (anyone red carded) will receive a fine and payment (must be made prior to them being able to play again) will be
donated to a charity.
