GJSA 2004 FIXTURE SUMMARY

The regular season commences on Sunday the 2nd of May & will conclude for all grades except the U/14’s & U/17’s on Sunday the 15th of August. The U/14’s & U/17’s last regular games are set for Sunday the 22nd of August.

Please note that for all grades the Home Team (ie team named first) is to provide a suitable Match Ball & Match Card. We have also been requested to advise the Match Card must be completed in full, including the full Christian (ie first name) & Surname of every player. In the U/6’s, U/8’s & U/10’s the Home Team is to also provide a suitable Referee with a knowledge of the Rooball Rules (please also refer to the attached Rooball Rule Clarifications).

Referees will be provided for all U/12, U/14 & U/17 games, however each side is to provide a suitable Linesman conversant with the rules of the Game, including the Off Side Rule.

To accommodate Rovers request to play some regular season games at Alexander Park, the last 3 Rounds for the U/6’s, U/8’s & U/10’s will be played at Alexander Park. These games have been scheduled to be completed prior to 11am. The U/12, U/14 & U/17 Games at Eadon Clarke will start from 11am onwards to ensure players and family members can travel in time from Alexander Park to Eadon Clarke for the start of the upper grade games. Additionally, the last 4 Rounds for the U/17’s involving the Rovers fixture only, will also be played at Eadon Clarke. The other U/17 game will be played at Eadon Clarke, as per the fixtures.

In terms of the recent GJSA resolution, games are scheduled for Sunday the 6th of June, which is the Foundation Day Long Weekend. This fixture is required to ensure all upper grade home & away games are completed in time to allow for the Knock Out Cup competitions and also to allow a reasonable period (ie 4 weeks) for the sole focus to be placed upon the Country Weeks Teams leading into the first week of the October School Holidays.

Knock Out Cup schedules have been included on the fixtures this year to avoid any confusion. Games will be played at Alexander Park and only involve grades of U/12, U/14 & U/17. The U/12 Knock Out Cup is a traditional format over 3 weeks. The U/14’s have a draw the first week, whereby the first 4 teams drawn will play in week one and the two undrawn teams (ie Teams 5 & 6) will have a bye in week 1 and automatically progress to week 2. The Week 2 winners will progress to the final, which will be played later the same day. With 4 teams in the U/17 competition the Knock Out Cup will be held over two weeks as shown on the fixtures. All 3 finals will coincide on the same say (ie Sunday the 5th of September) and the plan is to play all 3 games under lights at Alexander Park. The times & pitch numbers for all Knock Out Cup Games will be advised closer to the date.
