FIXTURES & APPOINTMENTS – AUGUST2009
Secretary’s Notes
Welcome to the 10th Season of the Humber Premier League. Congratulations to Chalk Lane on winning the Premier Division Championship for the first time and to Hall Road RangersReserves on their double winning the Division One title and the ERCFA Intermediate Cup. Congratulations also to Reckitts AFC, winners of the Grays League Cup and to Hessle Sporting Club on gaining promotion to the Premier Division. Sculcoates Amateurs succeeded in retaining the ERCFA Dave Whitton Champion of Champions Cup.
A warm welcome to Crown FC and East Riding Rangers and trust you enjoy your football in the HPL. The resignation of Easington United has resulted in the Premier Division having 15 teams with 12 teams in Division One.
The FA Respect Programme
HPL Referees will continue to work with the team captain in order to manage the players and the game effectively. From this season the Fair Play handshake will take place between the starting eleven from both teams and the match official(s) before each game (See enclosed details).
Footwear and jewellery inspections/Team sheets
Please note the instructions to referees on the next page.
Promotion/Relegation
In order to enhance our application to become a Step 7 League in the revised national league structure, it is important that we operate with 16 teams in the Premier Division next season. However, Rule 12 (C) will be implemented this season providing there are no withdrawals from the League. This is necessary to accommodate teams from other Leagues who are likely to be allocated to the HPL in the new national league structure.
Cost Equalisation
It is important that you complete the Cost Equalisation Sheet after each HPL League game. Do not include Grays League Cup games, CountyCup or Yorkshire OB Shield games on this form. Only record the travelling expenses of the Match officials who should hand you their expenses card prior to the match. Please retain these and also indicate the amount claimed on your match result sheet in case of any queries.
Results
Clubs are reminded that it is the responsibility of the Home Team to telephone the result to Gosnays and also remember there is a different telephone number for midweek fixtures.
E-mail/Post

Notes for Match Officials
Closed Dates
Closed dates received before31st Julyshould have been observed. I have received 165 closed dates forAugust so it is essential that appointments are accepted as there only a few referees left available for re-appointments.In order to avoid receiving further line appointments, Level 4 Referees must inform their Contributory League referee appointment officer and the Football Association of the dates on which you have been appointed to officiate HPL games. Email: .Assistant Referees who have been notified of their nomination for FA competition appointments must also close their HPL dates with the FA. This is essential to avoid possible duplication of appointments. You must keep me informed of all known closed dates even after receiving these appointments as it causes even more work when I re-appoint only then to be told of unavailability. If you have closed dates in September, please let me know before Monday 17th August when I will start preparing next months appointments.
Joint Travel
Officials with a * next to their name should travel together. If this is not convenient, you must obtain permission from me before travelling independently. # indicates joint travel with a referee appointed to a game in another division. ** indicates joint travel with an official on another nearby game. In these cases the travelling expenses are to be shared equally between each game.
