Semi-final guidelines

Dates for semi-finals of most competitions are now pencilled in. Semi-finals are priority fixtures which means that teams should be prepared to switch grounds at short notice to the away team's ground, should that be necessary due to bad weather or even to a neutral venue.

Semi-finalists should also be aware of the additional restriction on player eligibility which comes into force as detailed below:

"No player shall be eligible to play in the Semi-Final or Final unless he has been registered for the club and eligible to compete at the Quarter-Final stage of the competition, except by permission of the Management Committee."

No newly registered players will therefore be able to compete in semi-final or final ties. Any queries should be raised with the league BEFORE the fixtures take place.

Where assistants are appointed for semi-finals, the additional cost is shared i.e. the away team still pays the full referee fee, with each club paying for one assistant each.
