U5-U18 Player of the Match Awards

The second batches of U12 to U18 Grease Monkey POTM Awards will be available from the Kaleen Central Hub on Saturday for managers/coaches to collect. Second batches for U5 to U7 Let’s Play and U8 to U11 Domino’s POTM Awards are also available for collection. 

Some teams still haven’t picked up their first batches of POTM Awards. It would be a shame if the players missed out on them. 😢

If the number of players on a team have changed during the season and your team is short a POTM award, email your age group registrar (see below). Please don’t ask game day or shop staff on Saturday expecting them to give you them on the spot.

Club Jersey and Kit Laundry Care

To avoid any laundry issues with club jerseys, short, and socks, like fading, shrinkage, or colours running, please be aware of the following garment care advice.

  • Avoid detergents with Optical Brighteners
  • Avoid detergents with enzymes
  • Avoid bleach/oxi laundry products
  • Wash on a cycle with a temperature of 30 degrees or less.
  • Don’t soak garments
  • Wash jerseys inside out

As you’ll notice from the above advice, less is more when looking after your kit and will probably be cheaper!

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Mid-way through the season, it is a good time to remind everybody to respect one another. Whether that is fellow players, referees, parents, staff, and volunteers.

U10 to U18 Fixtures

U10 to U18 Fixtures beyond the immediate weekend are currently being reviewed in draft form by individual club admins to ensure fixtures are allocated to the most suitable fields for game day.

To assist members with game day planning/logistics, we have shared a list of the draft fixtures. This will be updated manually periodically. Unfortunately, it will not be a complete list, as there are away fixtures that the home club needs to allocate a ground/field. We do not have visibility of these missing fixtures. We hope in the coming weeks that this will be rectified, or the fixtures are published in Dribl. If your team is missing a fixture for a certain round, assume you are playing away and plan accordingly.

For immediately upcoming home fixtures, please refer to the Net Duty Document, usually updated on Mondays/Tuesdays before the Saturday.
