Toolstation NCEL clubs have been granted permission for midweek games to kick off anytime between 6.30pm and 7.45pm.
The sensible decision allows flexibility during a time when current Government curfew guidelines insist that bars must be shut by 10pm.
Clubs must agree between them on kick off times. For games where long-distance travelling is not required, it is certainly a good idea.
Prior to the decision, games were under pressure to finish on time because of the 10pm curfew.
None of next’s week midweek games have had their kick off times changed at the time of writing.
