End of season information
REMINDER: YEL League Reg 10 states, the Spring season for league fixtures ends 30th April unless extended by the league. We’ve deemed it necessary to arrange the odd fixture in the first week of May. This will not be extended again and is a final decision. We’re trying to complete all fixtures by April 30th which will include some midweek games for sides who we consider are local to each other. It will be at the league’s discretion to arrange any fixtures during the first week in May. We’re fully aware of the King’s coronation on Sat May 6th but we need time to make arrangements/send out invitations to the successful teams who’ll be eligible for the Spring season YEL Awards in June.
Please note: As per League Regs, any fixtures which are arranged by the league for a May date and then subsequently cancelled by one team, will be treated as an on the day cancellation and referred to the YEL Discipline Team where they will almost certainly be awarded against the cancelling team.
