PLAYER REGISTRATIONS - EMERGENCY REGISTRATIONS
The registered players list is now available. This
will be normally be updated on a Saturday morning. Two versions as
before - MS Excel and PDF. The PDF version is better for viewing on mobile devices or tablets.
Emergency registrations reminder - these must be returned to the Registrations Secretary not later than the Wednesday following the match concerned.
PLAYERS LOOKING FOR CLUBS, CLUBS LOOKING FOR PLAYERS
There are a large number adverts here
where players are looking for clubs or clubs looking for players.
Please check these first before emailing me! Also, if you are fixed up
from either point of view, please let me know so that I can remove your
advert. Thanks.
REFEREE'S MATCH REPORT FORM UPDATED
I have made a better scan of this important form, which are now available as PDF files via the forms index.
Thanks to Gareth Downs, who has made the two part form into a single
PDF document which you can download, print and use as required.
CHANGES TO THE LAWS OF FOOTBALL
I have updated the link to the revised Laws of the Game
to take you to the FIFA website. There are a number of fundamental changes with which you
must all be familiar before the new pre-season. This includes this
little gem, Law 11, offside, paragraph 4 which read "If an offside
offence occurs, the referee awards an indirect free kick where the
offence occurred, including if it is in the player’s own half of the
field of play" which means that you can no longer say 'in me own half,
ref!' as from now on, if you come back into your half from an
offside position and interfere with play etc the free kick is given from
where you did it, not from where you were when the ball was kicked. So
when does the assistant ref flag, especially if the player has run 25 or
30 yards into his own half? Have fun!
ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE POST OF WKSFL GENERAL SECRETARY
Angela Barham has agreed to stay on as
League General Secretary for the new season. However, the league would
be very interested to hear from anyone willing and able to take on this
vitally important role.
Over the past 49 years we have been fortunate to have had only five
people in the position of General Secretary, which is a clear indication of the calibre
of the people in all positions running your League. I hope there
is someone out there to take us into our 50th Season, and await
your call.
Regards, Stuart Turner, Chairman. CROWBOROUGH TOWN 1991 AND 1999
Mike Noble has kindly sent in two pictures of Crowborough Town from
their early days. All the names are known, you might remember a few of
them and may know what they are doing with themselves now. Take a look here. A new window will open.
MAILTO: LINKS ON WEBSITE PAGES
It's been brought to my notice that clicking the direct email links
may not work for those using webmail services rather than Outlook,
Thunderbird etc especially on tablets and mobiles. I have not figured
out how to deal with this, so any suggestions or better still fixes would
be most appreciated!
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.
