  1.   RESULTS
    Reminder
    Once again, a reminder that both teams need to notify the Divisional Secretary and the Chairman (for the Web within 72 hours of the game being played by email preferably).
    Late results will result in the offending team losing 1 point. Unless there is good reason 3 points will be deducted from the offending team for matches not played and a 5-0 walkover given to the opposition. This will be reflected in the leagues as soon as possible after the walkover is given.
    Where the offending team is the away team , they will be responsible for reimbursing the home club with pitch costs.
