To ensure the competitions run smoothly each round (excluding Semi Finals & Final) has a fixed week (Monday-Sunday) when fixtures must be played. This should be agreed by both teams taking into consideration the ground availability of the Home side and availability of the Away side. The home side must offer a minimum of two dates for the game. If teams cannot agree on a date, then management committee will rule accordingly but hope that clubs can work together to avoid this situation occurring.
