Completion of League Season 2009 / 2010

Following the unprecedented run of poor weather since 14th November 2009, the Management Committee last night discussed proposals for ensuring the completion of the current League season. Twice in recent seasons the League has been forced to cancel it’s own League Cup Competitions in order to successfully complete the League season and there remains a possibility that this option may again have to be exercised should the backlog of fixtures increase further.

The Sussex County Football Association has already suspended their own County Cup Competitions until further notice due to the detrimental effect they have been having on the various League programmes in the County.

In order to get the League programme back on track, the Management Committee (in accordance with the League Rules) has decided that the League will be giving it’s own fixtures precedence over all other Competitions for the remainder of January and the whole of February 2010.

It is hoped that once the League programme has recovered that Clubs can then complete the various outside Cup Competitions from March onwards.

Report on matches played on Saturday 19th December 2009

On a day where the fixture list was decimated by the wintry weather only one League match was played. Junior Club Tackleway reserves entertained Guestling Rangers at Barley Lane in a Division Five match. The worsening conditions made for an entertaining game in which both goalkeepers received their marching orders and saw the home side win 3-2 thanks to goals from Jamie Rabbetts, Mark Chandler and Reece Johnson with Leon Pettit and Jack Pocock grabbing the Rangers replies.

The only other game played was in the second round of the Robertsbridge Charity Junior Cup at Hillcrest School where Steve McGowan netted five times as Orington beat Cinque Ports 7-1 with Luis Gurka and Steve Greenfield netting their other goals whilst Ports consolation came from James Corbett.

Take Up The Whistle
18th December 2009

A NEW training course to become a fully qualified soccer referee starts in Eastbourne on January 27, 2010.

The eight-week course is held at the University of Brighton in Denton Road, Meads, and runs from 7pm to 9pm.

The Sussex County Football Association is keen to recruit as many people as possible for the training, including youths, ex-players and those with a keen interest in the sport.

Paul Saunders, Sussex Referees Development Officer, said, 'Refereeing can be a very rewarding hobby. Yes, it can be challenging at times, but it is a recreation enjoyed by thousands of people across the country every weekend.

'We are finding more and more teenagers are taking up refereeing to officiate in youth football on Sundays.

'We are also looking to reach out to players who have just given up the game and are looking to put something back into football particularly Sundays, plus, of course, other people genuinely interested in taking up the whistle.'

The minimum age is 14, and applicants will be required to complete CRB checks.

For more details, and full costs, please see Sussex FA Website (www.SussexFA.com) or call Darren Ford on 01903 753547.

Respect Programme
19th August 2008

Sussex County F.A. have invited the ESL to sign up to the above programme which will involve the following steps to improve standards of behaviour both on and off the pitch. The following will of course aid the retention of Referees which numbers are at an all time low accross the grassroots game.

1 Codes of conduct for players should already be in place, however this should include coaches and spectators.
2 Ensure spectators are kept back from the touchline.
3 Captains taking responsibility for their players and becoming the main point of contact for referees.
4 Referees to manage any open show of dissent.

The ESL is very fortunate to have such a high coverage of qualified officials I understand the average is around only 70% please take on board the above times are changing.
