The League adopts a small sided format and games will be played on Sunday Mornings starting on Sunday 19th May 2013. It will be run as a preseason league with teams playing at the age group they will play at during the upcoming season (ie 2013/14). We will use FA qualified and affiliated referees and in addition to this, JMO Sports Park is an affiliated football centre with the Lancashire FA.

Once we have teams entries confirmed, we will arrange fixtures for the summer with the league due to end prior to your regular season commencing in order to avoid any conflicts.
From last year’s experiences, we know that this exciting league enhances the offering of local junior football and has genuinely benefitted the teams that took part once their regular seasons started up again.
