Reports

 Treasurer’s Report – As Per Report Moved K Montgomery 2nd C Legoe  Grounds Report On Thursday the northern end will have earthmoving done, fields will need to be marked out and the nets put on the goals.

 Registrar Report Registrations open, not many people have taken advantage of early registration. Match cards have been ordered.

 Junior Report Last Sunday the Zone team was selected, D James and S Shand are two of the coaches. Annie Anderson’s Turf Training has its last session this Thursday, this has been well supported. Academy Training has now finished, there may be two more sessions held after the long weekend in June. No word on tryout dates as yet for the SAPSASA and Country Carnival U13’s.

 Umpires Report Numbers are looking low for umpires for many clubs. Own goals are now not allowed. High balls can be played as long as not dangerous – more to be worked out for this – as an association should we try to discourage this not to happen?
