Last August, following the withdrawal of Beeches Old Boys from the Jersey Football Combination, league president Charlie Browne touched on the possibility of running a corporate league, and after receiving ratification from the JFA Council he says ‘Flexi Football’ – a form of the game with revised rules – fits the bill perfectly.
‘This league is about getting more people involved playing, especially those who don’t currently play on a Saturday,’ he explained.
‘We hope to start in April. Games will mainly be at Springfield, they will be 11-a-side, 30 minutes each-way and they will run for 20 weeks.
‘If a team does not have enough players, if both agree then they can play ten or nine-a-side.’
Flexi Football includes a six-minute sin bin for yellow cards.
