Reminder – This is Remembrance weekend
Reminder to everyone that this is remembrance weekend. We would encourage everyone who wishes to, to hold a minutes applause/silence prior to their games over the weekend to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to keep our country safe and allow us the freedom to live our lives in the way we wish to. Please discuss with you opposition manager and any appointed referee how you wish to pay your respects. This is, as always, optional.
YEL Community Fund
All YEL clubs are eligible to apply to the YEL Community fund for a grant. Clubs can apply for a grant of up to £250 as many times as they wish but can only be successful once during the course of the season due to the size of fund that’s available. Grants can be for any number of different projects from supporting managers getting their FA qualifications through to contributions towards club wide development projects. Applications for Period 2 close on 30th November and can be made via Scoreline, selecting YEL Community from the left hand menu. Applications can ONLY be made by club officials. So, if you’re a manager and have a project in mind, speak to your club secretary and get your application in now.

Match returns on FT – suspensions and fines
Thanks to all coaches who are correctly completing the match returns on Full-Time on time – 99%. For those that aren’t and fall three or more match returns behind, you will have received emails from the YEL advising of suspension of fixtures and an admin fine under League Rule 6(H) ‘failing to follow a management instruction’ Why are you wasting your club’s money? Please ensure that you do respond and update the info by the deadlines set (It’s part your role as a coach and being a member of the YEL) or, better still, do the returns on time in the first place! Four teams have had their fixtures suspended so far this season and received an additional fine. Please don’t be the fifth!
