NOTICE

The W.D.F.A. Management Committee draws attention to F.A. Rule No. 26 which deals with misconduct of all kinds relating to the game. It is required that all Club Officials and Spectators assist in promoting clean sport, thus making the game more attractive to spectators and enjoyable to Players. Secretaries and Captains of Clubs especially, can each by their own example and precept, do much to instil a real sporting spirit into every game played.

Football should teach everyone concerned to keep "temper" in subjection, and anything ungentlemanly - in word or deed - should be promptly suppressed, both during the game and on leaving the field of play.

CLUBS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION RULES, THAT THE CLUB IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BEHAVIOUR OF ITS OFFICIALS, PLAYERS AND SPECTATORS AT ALL TIMES IRRESPECTIVE OF WHERE THE GAME IS PLAYED.

MEDALS

Any player dismissed during any Final shall have their medal withheld at the discretion of the Management Committee and as such shall not take part in the official presentation

Additional medals are available, at the discretion of the Management Committee, to whom the applications should be made on the appropriate form supplied to the recipients.
