PRE-SEASON MEETING 21st August - Holmans -7.30 . Important all managers attend.
UNDER 9'S LEAGUE
With the FA stopping under 8's playing competative football there has been a knock on effect on weakening the under 9's league. As a result several clubs are having problems in establishing full squads. It is proposed by the committee that an agreement is made amongst all under 9 teams in that where a team arrives for a match with less than a complete team the opposition also reduce their team to that number. We feel such an arrangement may ensure some teams stay in the league and it will create a "level playing field for all." Please give us your comments.
Under 8's Rule
I have had a lot of calls from clubs and parents regarding the new under 8 rule introduced this season. Whereas many of us agree with it's principle the overwhelming view is that the FA have been poor in it's introduction. Bringing it in so near to the start of the season will prevent the formation of many under 9's teams and stop youngsters playing football atall. Whereas boys from large cities have flexibility and scope to form other teams this is not true of smaller village teams in Cornwall. I have put these points to the CCFA however I am sorry but all hands are tied. I will write to the FA direct on this and give you their responce. John Graver
