The match card MUST BE COMPLETED FULLY & HANDED IN after every game, or otherwise face a PENALTY CHARGE OF £5. (Match card can be downloaded here)
ID CARDS
A ID card is a proof of a player registered with their team and ELSL. At every game the manager should check the opposition ID cards to make sure that the players on the pitch are eligible to play for the team and to avoid any foul play.
KIT COLOUR
It is vital that on the match day both teams do not play with two identical or matching kit colours. it is therefore the responsibility of both team to make sure that they do not wear the same kit colour.
