PLAYER REGISTRATION DEADLINE REMINDER - QUALIFICATION FOR WKSFL CUP SEMI FINALS AND FINALS

Everyone is reminded that no player may be registered, re-registered or transfer between WKSFL clubs after Saturday 31st March, except by special permission of the Management Committee. Rule 8(J) applies. Clubs involved in WKSFL cup semi-finals and finals are advised to check Rule 25 (D) (j) concerning the eligibility of players registered after 1st December 2017, or those who may have previously played for other clubs. Any enquiries about these subjects must be referred to the Registrations Secretary Tony Vanns.

WKSL CUP SEMI FINALS 'AWAY GOALS RULE' TO BE APPLIED

The semi-finals of the three WKSFL cups will be played over two legs. As a tie breaker, we will use the same rule as the UEFA Champions league which is reproduced below :


'Away goals count double' is more a figure of speech than actual Rule but conveys the message.

Extra time in the second leg can only happen if both match scores after 90 minutes are identical, including two 0-0 draws of course.

The 'away goals' rule also applies where teams share grounds!"

RED CARDS IN DOUBLE HEADERS

This is to clarify that a player sent off in the first game of a a double header CAN PLAY in the second game. Suspensions come into force seven days after the offence.

DO YOU HAVE OLD KITS CLUTTERING UP THE PLACE?

This from Jon Hurst at Kent College in Tonbridge -

...writing on behalf of a work colleague who supports younger people in Malawi through charity work: www.malawiyouthdream.org,  for the donation of old kits that are no longer required by clubs.'

Clubs interested in doing this can go direct to the website above (hit ‘contact us’), or contact Karen Kamundi on 01622 200258 for more details.

Another option The Lighthouse Project, based at Longmead Primary School in Tonbridge, is involved with a scheme to donate football equipment to kids in the Phillipines. Take a look at this YouTube video clip - http://youtu.be/e81AnjPWcVE

If you can offer anything or a small donation, get in touch with Simeone Honore by email.

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!

MAILING LIST

For the benefit of new secretaries and new people generally, I keep a mailing list through which all subscribers are notified of website updates. All contact email addresses supplied to the league are included automatically. 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.
