Pitches impacted by the dry weather

29 August 2022

Pitch availability procedure

We are aware that some local authorities/pitch providers are not assessing the availability of their pitches available to clubs until after the scheduled season start date. The league has taken the decision to keep the season start date as it is to allow teams with access to suitable pitches (e.g. 3G) to play games as planned.


If you have a home game scheduled on 10th September, please can you check the availability of your pitch ASAP.


If your pitch is not available, your first action should be to ask your opposition if they have an available pitch to allow the game to go ahead.


Please ensure that you let your appropriate Divisional Secretary know about any reversal or cancellation of any fixtures.
