As we are at the start of the new season, we have a number of new referees and club secretaries.  Can I remind everyone that to access all of the pages on the web site, you must create your own account which can be done by clicking the ‘signup’ link underneath the login box.  Once signed up to the web site, referees and club secretaries will have their access upgraded to enable entry to the HPL On-Line Forms and On-Line Handbook.

 

HPL Player Registrations

The form for submitting your HPL Player Registrations is now available on the web site, as discussed at the Pre-Season Meeting, all clubs MUST complete these details prior to the team playing its first game AND with enough time to allow Sean to input player license information.  Until a player’s status is listed as ‘Registered’ they shall not be eligible to play in any HPL Game.

 

In addition, all 1st Division teams (and clubs with teams in both divisions) must return to the same form to nominate the 8 players who shall only be eligible to play in the 1st Division.

 

On-Line Forms

A reminder to club secretaries and referees…  Both teams MUST complete the Match Result & Nomination form within 24 hours of a fixture.  The home team MUST complete the Match Statistics form within 7 days of a fixture.  It is requested that referees also complete the Match Result & Nomination form.

 

HPL Pre-Season Tournament 2008

The 2008 HPL Pre-season Tournament took place on Sunday 28th September at Wodson Park, Ware.

The twelve teams contesting the competition this year were initially split into two groups of six for a preliminary group phase. The top two teams in each group then progressed to the semi finals with the remaining eight teams playing off in single knockout games to determine their final placings.
