Just a reminder to all teams that they can do match day registrations for any game and these are unlimited for all clubs. You will need to use the paper registration form to do this before uploading the registration onto WGS on the SAME DAY. If you would like any guidance on this then please do not hesitate to contact us.

 

 

All teams must confirm with the other club the details of the game which includes confirming with the referee. All clubs should have the league handbook which can also be accessed on Full Time here.

Just a reminder that team sheets must be input into Full-Time within 3 days of your match which must include substitutions, goalscorers, referee marks (out of 40, 30, 30) and completing the respect and pitch questions.

As you should all be aware the 1st round of the Veterans Cup gets underway on the 7th October. With just 5 ties in the 1st round the majority of Championship, League 2 and League 3 teams will be without a game on this day. We encourage any teams without a fixture to move any fixtures from the last few weeks of the season to this date. Please be reminded that both teams need to agree to this otherwise the game cannot be moved.

 

The first round ties of the Veterans Cup can be found on our website here and we wish good luck to all teams involved!
