Sunday training and home match arrangements

In order to preserve the pitches and avoid them ending up in muddy heaps the club held a meeting last week and it was agreed that...

• All Sunday training is to be confined to the top pitch and the old "fourth team" pitch (which will be marked out as a junior size pitch) and the spaces between the second and top pitch for all age groups, incl boys and girls. Training on the middle pitch will only be allowed on midweek evenings.
• Sunday training for the juniors and girls will take place between 11:30 and 1pm (minis will be from 10.00 to 11.30).
• Girls matches will kick off at 2pm (this allows changing rooms to be cleared after any boys matches, which will kick off at 12.00). Warm-ups from 1.30, but not on first or second team pitches (ie. middle or bottom picthes).

In practice this makes little difference to us, other than the slightly later time for training if we ever train on a Sunday. Home matches will, however, be confined to the top pitch for U18s and "fourth team pitch" for U15s (if played at the same time - there are plans to re-erect posts on the fourth pitch, apparently) until things improve, ie. the spring presumably.
