time after a long arduous Season: John Kasey (Sutton), Kevin Merchant
(Epsom), Jim Paterson and Les Bishop (Farnham), Bruce Ayers (Croydon) and

Members are advised against officiating in the PITS small-sided competition
(running in the Catford and Barnet areas) due to clubs not being registered.
Although the competition is sanctioned, a referee has been assaulted and no
action taken because there is no control over the clubs.

Management & Confrontation".

The normal autumn IST will take place on 18th October 2000.

Team Sheets will be required in every County Cup competition next Season.
Substitutes will be any three from up to five named.

will still get the £3.50 Allowance plus 22p/mile expenses.

Repeated substitutions in Veterans and youth football under 16 and below is now
possible provided the competition's Rules cover it. It means that a player, having
been substituted, becomes a substitute and can play again in the same match.

The FA has also permitted the "Golden Goal" method of deciding matches
provided the competition's Rules cover it. The FA or a County FA must sanction
the competition.
