Welcome to the SPSFA 2018/19 season! Welcome to the SPSFA (Southport Primary School Football Association) website, designed and created by Nick Dempster (Norwood Primary School). This is the home for all results for league and cup games for all 27 teams that represent every Primary School in the Southport area. Please use the links below to access relevant information from the 2018 AGM: Leagues are now live, and will be updated as the results start to come in. Cup fixtures can also be found on the respective pages. Tournament groups will be emailed either via Mike Smethurst or myself nearer the time. League formations for 2018/19 Following the AGM, there has been an overhaul of the leagues for school football. Here is the information on the new format for leagues: Stage One 4 initial groups based on location of schools:
Teams will play at a central venue and will play everyone within their group once over 2 dates: Matchday 1 : week beginning Monday 1st October Matchday 2: week beginning Monday 29th October During these fixtures, schools would have either 3 or 4 games to play. Each group would play on a different night. Stage Two Once all games have been played the top 2, middle 2 and bottom 2 from each league join another league so standard of teams should be similar. The Leagues will be played using one of the following formats to be agreed before Christmas. (This will be agreed by a majority of the team managers from that league) Format 1: ● Teams playing everyone within their group once over a number of weeks as a typical league format - either home or away at one of the schools. League games to be completed by Thursday 29th March OR Format 2: ● Teams will play at a central venue and will play everyone within their group once over 2 dates: Matchday 3 : week beginning Monday 4th February Matchday 4: week beginning Monday 11th March During these fixtures, schools would have either 2 or 3 games to play. Each group would pay on a different night.
Substitutions There will be rolling substitutes and the squad number is unlimited. Duration of matches Games played on one night will be of 20 minute duration (10 minutes each way). Other format of games (one game on one night) will be played of 40 minutes duration (20 minutes each way) Deciding the Outcome The maximum score reported is 9-0 as goal difference will not be used to determine the winners of leagues. Leagues are decided by points and then the aggregate score between the tied teams. If the teams are still tied, the League may be decided by play-off at a neutral venue with a neutral referee if both teams agree. Any team not fulfilling their fixtures on the specified days will have their invitation to take part in the further leagues withdrawnIf you find any mistakes on the website or have any comments/suggestions please let me know - spsfa1@gmail.com!
