sportsmanship shields

1.A sportsmanship shield has been donated for each of the Divisions in the League and for the mini-soccer teams. They will be under the entire control of the Bedford Sports Horsham & District Youth Football League Management Committee and all teams taking part will qualify. No shield shall be won outright.

2.Each team manager will enter on the result card for each league match and cup match marks out of 10 awarded to the opposing teams for sportsmanship. This will not apply to final ties. At the end of the season, the Registration Secretary will accumulate the marks for each team, and the team achieving the highest average will be declared the winner. In the event of a tie the shield will be shared.

3.The shield will not be an individual personal award but a team award. Managers should bear this in mind when giving their marking and take into account Club efficiency, sportsmanship on the field of play and the behaviour of spectators.
