5/ Behaviour: Becky expressed concern about the behaviour of the children. This was evident at the Tournament, Field Lane and most recently at the Respect talk given by the County FA Welfare officer.

This in turn will be logged and dealt with as necessary. In future at events children will be sat with parents to prevent bad behaviour?
