Advice needed

[Premier Sixes]

A player has approached us aboout signing for us.

We play junior football in Duchy 5, they played in the ECPL for half of last season and have signed for a combo team this season but haven't played a single game for them.

so

I know we have to reinstate them

but do we need to put in 7 days or not for this player as there is junior / senior division between the two sides?

Yes,a formal letter to the club(s) registered with this season.

Excellent

Thank you

No 7 Days required for this player because he is moving between to different leagues. We at St Austell have just done exactly what you have asked.

Although it is common courtesy to inform the teams that the player has signed for that he wishes to sign for your team.

going from combo to duchy 5 though?? :wacko:

its all the rage these days.its where you can have a laugh play footy and after the match have a good old knees up with all your fellow players as a team!!!!!!!!!

The word ambition seems to be missing. Surely most players would like to play at the highest level possible.

Lee - I don't think it matters if the player is moving up the leagues,down or sideways to an equivalent standard,you still need to serve a notice on the club that he is registered for.

The rule re reinstatement is quite clear - if a player has played 5 senior games in the current or preceeding season he needs to be reinstated.

Mr.Secretary - I don't think the reinstatement was the issue,it was more of players moving leagues and whether or not a seven day approach letter needed to be served on club(s) where the player was registered.With agreement of course,this is sometimes waived.
