It covers many of the questions you are likely to ask and explains what, when and how you should do things.
YEL require Match Returns to be completed for all U7 to U14 games arranged by the league – friendlies, league matches and cup games. Match Returns must be completed within 24 hours of the advertised kick off time of the game otherwise you are likely to be fined.
