the new changes to the Laws of the Game are effective from the 1st June 2016, so for the remainder of this season we are as you were.

Only a player who has been injured from an offence for which his/her opponent is cautioned or sent off can remain on the field of play after treatment. Guideline is 20-25 seconds, and referees must make allowance for this stoppage.

If the ball is going in the goal and is touched the referee can award the goal providing it has no impact on the defenders.

All in all, makes the Laws of the Game much easier to understand and interpret.

all changes will be presented at the AGM and if any club/team or individual wants clarification please ask.
