Sunday play for regional divisions
With the average points system in
the regional divisions and the difficulty some clubs are experiencing finding
grounds to play on the Committee has decided to allow games in the Regional
structure to be played on the Sunday of the scheduled weekend . This
dispensation was given in the shortened season in 2020 and although not many
clubs used the option it did allow a number of games to take place that might
not otherwise have been played. This allowance is subject to the following
conditions:
1. Clubs would need to have
agreement from their visitors by Easter Monday to the switch to the Sunday. If
no such agreement, then the fixture would take place on the scheduled
Saturday
2. All re-arranged matches must
be communicated to the league’s results secretary, before
the start of the season so that no penalties would apply for not reporting the
result by 9.00pm on the Saturday. The result would need to be reported by
9.00pm on the Sunday and the team posted on the website by then as well.
3. No player playing in the Sunday
fixture would have represented the club on the Saturday of that weekend and the
normal selection requirements that affect selection under 13c of the
constitution will apply.
