Abandoned Game vs Harlow Town – Sunday 24th May
In the event of a match not being played or abandoned owing to causes over which neither Club has control, it shall be played in its entirety on a date to be mutually agreed by the two Clubs and approved by the Management Committee. Failing such agreement and notification to the (Fixtures) Secretary within seven days the Management Committee shall have power to order the match to be played on a named date or on or before a given date.
The Management Committee shall review all abandoned matches and in a case where it is to the advantage of the Competition and does no injustice to either Club, shall be empowered to order the score at the time of the abandonment to stand.
In all cases where the Management Committee are satisfied that a match was abandoned owing to the conduct of one team or its Club member(s) they shall be empowered to award the points for the match to the opponents and take what other action they may deem necessary.
In cases where a match is abandoned owing to the conduct of both teams or their Club members, the Management Committee shall take such action as they consider appropriate. Such action is subject to any disciplinary action taken by the appropriate County Football Association.
In this case the game was abandoned because a Harlow player was injured and it was decided that she should not be moved from where she lay until the emergency services arrived. Because of the time that it took for the ambulance to arrive and the fact that the game had kicked off at 2pm the referee suggested that the game should be abandoned and both managers agreed with his decision.
In normal circumstances I believe that the Management Committee would order the game to be replayed. However, next Sunday, 31st May, is the absolute deadline for completing all outstanding ECGFL fixtures and Harlow Town already have a fixture on that day (vs Leigh Rockets). Whilst Harlow Town will rightly argue that this jeopardises their chances of finishing as runners-up in the league, I believe that the most likely scenario is that the Management Committee will declare the 2-0 score to be the final result.

Stevenage Forfeit Game
Like ourselves, Stevenage are operating with a small squad this season - just 15 players - and have been reduced to only 12 players in recent weeks by three long term injuries. This weekend two players are away with their school and their two 18 year olds, who are dual-registered, have been called into the senior ladies squad for a game in the premier division of the Eastern Region Women's Football League. Not surprisingly they are unwilling to play us with only eight players!
The League will award the win to us and Stevenage will probably be fined. This will be ratified at the next League Committee meeting on 12th April.
Goalkeeper Required
