Match Schedule
Attached is the schedule of the day as it currently stands based on the numbers above. Each game is allocated 15 minutes. Each game is 5 minutes each way with a 2 minute interval and 3 minutes between games. For injuries on the pitch we will not be stopping the clock unless an ambulance is needed. We will try our hardest to keep to time and would appreciate your help in ensuring every player is ready to go on to their next game promptly.

Referees
We are expecting clubs to supply one referee per squad. If you are unable to provide them please let us know by return. If agreed by the Team Leaders then they can referee if no ref is available on pitch for the match.

First Aiders
We will have first aid facilities on site and are expecting every club to bring a minimum of 1 first aider per team, please include their details on the registration form when returned.
