Somerset FA will be running a brand new ‘Veterans League’ at Writhlington School, Radstock as of May 2009.
The League will run on a flexible format at the end of the normal football season, therefore it will run as an out of season summer League.
For more information please contact Brendan Dix on 01761 410287, 07966778420 or email brendan.dix@somersetfa.com
Jeremy Nash and Steve Johnston are your BTYFC unofficial contacts for info about the Vets league.
Some further info from Jeremy:
The league would run May till end of August so we get to play in nice weather and there will be a maximum of 6 teams in the league.
It will be a totally flexible league where no results are kept and people play for the enjoyment of it.
You can play 8,9,10 or 11 a side.
25, 30 or 35 minutes each way – longer if both teams agree.
You are allowed 2 players under 35 in each team.
Roll on roll off substitutes.
Matches Saturday mornings or afternoons.
Matches will be refereed by proper officials where possible but as it is a friendly match ( though competitive in wanting to win and show some skills) anyone who volunteers can do it.
No bookings or sending offs – anyone who takes it that seriously shouldn’t be playing really but they will be told to be substituted.
No need for official kits, as bibs will be available.
We already have enough people for 3 teams so if there is anyone out there who would either like to enter a team or wants to register their interest in playing please reply to this email.
I would also like to make it a social occasion where both teams bring some food and drink and have a get together after the match for a short while. We will see what people want to do on that score though.
For further information, visit the Somerset FA web site, where you will also find an Invitation Letter (Word doc.) and a Promotional Poster (Powerpoint doc.) available from the site.
