1. Minutes of last meeting Agreed as true record

2. Matters arising

Item 3.b Dealt with by OFA

Item 5.f Fines for this offence will now commence from Nov. 1st

3. General Secretary

a. Letter from Grove concerning players leaving their U10 team at end of last season. (NB this item was not dealt with when it arrived last June). Write to Grove that as players left after season had ended no rule was broken and if they wish to propose a change to transfer rule concerning Rep. Team players then should be done at AGM next year.

b. Letters from Didcot manager and welfare officer concerning behaviour of Oxford City supporters at their U11 game. Referred to OFA Welfare Officer on 14th October

4. Treasurer No report

5. Fixtures

a. So far very few postponements-main problems, as usual, are the County Cup games.

b. Please note that KO times on the web page are not always correct. Do not have the time to go through all the fixtures changing the times. Clubs should only use the KO times provided direct from their opponents.

c. Cup competitions are under way

6. Referees

a. New marking system appears to have resulted in many more reports for marking a referee 60 or less. Have no problem with this but please keep to constructive remarks on referees handling of the game.

b. Have had an instance of a zero mark for a referee – not really appropriate or helpful.

c. Botley v Benson U13. Letter from Benson concerning Botley supporters. Refer to OFA

d. Horspath v Abingdon Town U11. Referee has sent report to Berks & Bucks.

7. Registrations

a. Slowing down-at last.

b. Checking KO Cup match cards have found players not registered for the required 28 days prior to match. (Rule 8.O) 2009 U10 Grove v Botley (Grove played ineligble player) U11 Summertown Dragons v Barton (Barton played ineligible player) Decision is that both Grove and Barton are expelled from the Cup and games awarded. Inform both clubs.

c. Will be continuing the checking of all match cards.

d. Transfer of player from Headington Sharks to Oxford Blackbirds. Confusion on part of Blackbirds on how transfer is done. Mary to contact player’s parents and Blackbirds to explain what to do.

e. For transfers Clubs should follow the FA 7 day approach rule. If a Club feels this has not been done then they should report this complaint to Oxfordshire FA.

8. Welfare Officer No problems. Meeting on 2nd Nov with the OFA Welfare Officer to discuss CRB regulations.

9. Rep. Teams

a. U11 now wish to enter the Southern Intercounties League. Agreed.

b. All Southern Intercounties League games will be played at Aldermarston. Web site: www.sicfl.co.uk

c. Request for purchase of yellow ties for players. Agreed that ties can be purchased and paid for by players but NOT yellow ties-stick to current design and colour.

10. A.O.B. None

Next Management Committee meeting 7.30pm Thursday November 26th
