HANDBOOK UPDATES

The handbook has been updated with the current teams and referees.  The League rules have also been updated.  If you find that there is an error please let me know at webmaster@wksl.org.uk.

RESPECT FOR REFEREES

Please remember that referees are football fans that enjoy the game.  They help our game by turning out every week to supervise the games.  Without referees there is no football.

KCFA INSURANCE CLAIMS

It seems that clubs are either submitting injury claims late or not at all. Information can be found at :- https://www.kentfafoundation.co.uk/how-to-apply/injured-player-fund/ and  http://www.kentfa.com/players/player-support/insurance

Clubs affiliated to other County Associations should check the relevant websites.

MAILING LIST REMINDER

For the benefit of club secretaries and others, I keep a mailing list through which all subscribers are notified of website updates.  If you wish your email address to be added, please email me. All messages from me will have WKSL WEBSITE UPDATE in the title. I recommend that you include this information in your 'whitelist' or whatever, as some spam filters have a habit of dumping my well-intentioned emails in the dustbin.

You will be notified of results and updated league tables (normally) around 10.00am every Monday morning, also of the availability of the monthly fixture lists plus any ad-hoc updates that may occur through the season.

We like to have the small cost of running the website paid through advertising by local businesses We currently have space for small adverts on several pages. If you are interested, please contact Chairman Stuart Turner.

SECOND EDITION OF THE WEST KENT SUNDAY LEAGUE HISTORY IN PLANNING.

Andrew Newman is thinking in advance of a new edition of the WKSFL history, which was a sellout when it was published in 2007. This might be a 60th Anniversary edition, in 2027!!

Andrew is wishing to get hold of copies of photos from 2007 - 2008 onwards and into future seasons, particularly of winning teams with their trophies. Any other photos of interest would be welcomed. Send them by email if you can to courierfootball@btinternet.com or contact Andrew at that address if there are pictures you can't send that way. Andrew may also be interested in videos, but please speak with him first. By the time it comes to season 2026/2027 no doubt 3D holograms will be sought after!
