New Representative Team Colours

Our sponsors ProKit UK have generously supplied two new kits for the Representative team as part of the 5 year sponsorship agreement.

The home team colours will be - White Shirt with Red trim - Red shorts and Red socks.

The change of colours are - Sky Blue shirt - Navy Blue shorts and Sky Blue socks.

The main strip represents the colours of Prokit UK. The League have also arranged for new track tops which like the shirts of the kits will have both the Leagues and ProKit UK logo's.

The League would like to express their thanks to ProKit UK for their generous contribution to the League's Representative Team.

August/September Fixtures

The fixtures up to 02 September have now been uploaded to the web site. There are not as many fixtures as we would like due to pitch availability. If any clubs have pitches available during the period covered by these fixtures please let Peter Godfrey know as soon as possible.

It is anticipated that the remaining September fixtures will be uploaded early next week.

Due to officers holidays it is probable that an August Newsletter will be sent out during W/C 09 August showing fixtures and appointments up to 02 September.

If this happens the remaining fixtures and appointments for September will be sent our as soon as they are available in a seperate Newsletter.

Player Registrations

The new seasons handbooks will be either posted out or hand delivered within the next 10 days.

Clubs are reminded of the contents of rule 8(B) which states

At least 11 players must be registered with the league for each team within the league at least 14 days prior to the date on which the season commences. Failure to comply will result in a fine of £35.00 for each team entered into the league.

As the season starts on 21 August this means the required number of players must be registered by 07 August.

Essex County Cups

Whilst the E.C.F.A. have sent us copies of the Essex County Cup draws they have placed an embargo on them until 02 August 2010. Accordingly the draws will be available on this site after 13:00 hours on that date.

Ground Sharing

The problems of ground sharing with Senior clubs have recently been highlighted with two of our teams being thrown off their pitches in order to accommodate teams from a higher level in the National League System.

The first to lose their pitch were Wadham Lodge after Waltham Forest decided to curtail their ground share agreement at Ilford and move back to Wadham Lodge and share with Mauritius Sports. As a result Wadham Lodge will now be playing on the pitch outside the main stadium which at least has a barrier and dug-outs.

More serious problems have been encountered by Hutton. The saga of what league Grays Athletic would be playing in was finally settled at the F.A. on Thursday when it was agreed that they would play in The Rymans League Division One North and ground share with East Thurrock. Whilst this was great for Grays it meant that Hutton were now homeless given that their Polo Field ground is still under repair after the recent fire and could not accommodate both their teams.

Hutton have come up with a new venue for their first team which has now been approved.

Whilst playing at Senior venues enhances the profile of clubs in our league, they should be aware that their tenure is at the whim of their landlords.

The saga of Grays Athletic has also delayed the publication of our fixtures as they cannot be finalised until fixtures from the Essex Senior League and Ryman League before them have been published due to our teams ground sharing with teams in those leagues.

Link To This Site

Some people have been experiencing intermittent problems receiving e-mails from eofl.co.uk
e-mail addresses or e-mails forwarded from eofl.co.uk e-mail addresses.

This has been a particular problem with people with BT or Yahoo e-mail addresses.

It is therefore necessary for everyone to ensure that their e-mail "white list" contains the eofl.co.uk domain name.

Details of how those with BT and Yahoo addresses can do this have been uploaded to the site and can be accessed via the link below.

Those of you with other e-mail addresses will have to contact your ISP or look on your mail page to find out how to do this.

It is most important that everyone associated with the league has an active and working e-mail address if the league is to work efficiently.
