PROPOSALS PASSED AT AGM 2026
Rule 11:
Where a Club does not fulfil its AWAY fixture in the first part of the season, then it must forego its HOME fixture and travel to play the opposition AWAY.
now with this addition
If the team does not fulfil the AWAY fixture in the second half of the season, then once the following seasons' fixtures have been published, the infringed club reserves the right to ensure the first fixture in the next season against that same club can be HOME. ie 'flipping' the fixtures if they wish. This must be requested prior to the start of the season.
Rule 19: Concede by Senior team
Now says
The Senior fixture in a Club’s list MUST ALWAYS, UNLESS THE SENIOR MATCH IS NOT PLAYED FOR SOME VALID REASON, be honoured at the expense of a lower team’s fixture.
When a senior team concedes a game, then the lower team will be required to concede as well. This lower game can still be played as a ‘friendly’.
If this happens on a weekend that involves a Cup Competition, all lowerteams from that Club winning a Cup match that day will be eliminated from the Cup Competitions and their opponents will replace them in the next round. This includes teams who had a bye that day.
Rule 20: Rearrangements
Now says
All fixtures will be decided by the League Committee.
Fixtures will be published by July 10th or earlier.. Where matches need to be re-arranged, for whatever reason, an agreement must be made with the opponents and a new date agreed. The decision on the rearranged date must be ratified by League’s FIXTURE SECRETARY.
Fixture dates cannot be rearranged after August 30th.
Weather postponed games or where referees are not available ( or extra-ordinary reasons ) will be rearranged by the League’s Fixtures Secretary. This will usually be the first available Saturday. Where Saturdays are no longer available to rearrange these games, the Leagues Rule Committee will discuss various options to allow the fixtures to be settled. This might involve Double Headers and Pools Panel. There is No appeal available against Pools Panel decisions.
