Result Reporting & League Tables
As a reminder, please can Result Reporting be submitted by 5pm on the Monday following all IFA League fixtures. This will allow us to update the website accordingly and also allow any time to investigate properly any incidents reported.
The Website will be updated on a fortnightly basis going forward. Please accept our apologies for the delays at times this season as we transition to different ways of working within our Committee.
90 Minute Rule / Rule 1
A reminder to all teams regarding Rule 1 and the 90 Minute Rule. We ask that when you are organising any IFA League fixture that you take into account both your own team and your oppositions afternoon fixture before committing to a fixture. The Committee is not responsible should any fixtures not count towards the IFA League when the 90 Minute Rule and/or IFA General Rule 1 is not followed.
We ask that all Team Organisers ensure they are fully reminder of IFA General Rule 1, please see the following link: https://www.internetfootball.org.uk/general-ifa-rules/
