NEW REGISTRATIONS OF PLAYERS - REMINDER OF LEAGUE RULES

18.j A player may not be registered for a club nor transferred to another club in the competition after 31st March except by special permission of the Management Committee.
25.d.4 A club with more than one team, shall not include more than three players in a WKSFL Cup competition who  have played in a combined total of 5 league or cup matches for any team from the same club playing in a higher division or higher cup competition in the current playing season.
25.d.5 No Player shall be allowed to play in the semi-final or final of any WKSFL Cup Competition unless he has been registered for the competing Club prior to the 31st January or has played in a combined total of 3 league or cup Matches for the competing Club in the current Playing Season, except by special permission of the Management Committee. Contravention of this Rule will incur a fine in accordance with the Fines Tariff for each ineligible Player and the tie will be awarded to the non-offending side.


MATCHES AFFECTED BY POOR PITCHES

If your match is going to be called off because of an unfit pitch please try to see if the away team can host the match. We have had a lot of postponed fixtures since Christmas and the league is keen to ensure that midweek matches are kept to a minimum.


RESULTS FOR 25th FEBRUARY

The results for the few matches that escaped the weather are now on the website.  The tables, grids, leading scorers, hat tricks and clean sheets have also been updated.


NEW TEAMS FOR 2024-2025 SEASON

MATCH REPORTS
 
I have not put any match reports on the website this season as I was only getting reports from Insulators (thank you Andrew) and my own team.  Writing reports was taxing my imagination rather than reporting what had happened.  If you want to restart match reports I am happy to do it but it needs contributions from other sources that are not libelous!


LIST OF REGISTERED PLAYERS

The list of players registered for clubs is now available as a spreadsheet.  There is a link in the right hand column of this page.  


The results for this season are now on the website.  They are also available on the FA Website:  West Kent Sunday League (thefa.com)

 

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.

GIVE YOUR OLD KITS TO PEOPLE WHO NEED THEM

Two of Insulator's old kits are now being used in Gambia by Keteh Jombal FC and Serridema FC.

Here is another example of what can be done rather than chucking them out! Ian Trim, who plays for Artois United, used the item below to make contact and have an old kit sent out to Malawi. So if you have old kits, don't hesitate to put them to good use. Five pictures below, click to see larger size.

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!
