As of Monday 07 January 2013, discipline in Schools’ Football will be split into two separate categories: (1) Representative Football and (2) Inter-School Football. Therefore, if a player is dismissed from the field of play for a standard red card offence whilst representing his / her District or County SFA, then the suspension will only apply to representative football competition matches (Inter-District or Inter-County). Moreover, if the player is sent off whilst playing for his / her school football team, then the suspension will only apply Inter-School competition matches. Any County Schools’ FA managing their own discipline cases must amend their paperwork accordingly to cater for this new procedure.
The following County / Regional SFA discipline is being managed by ESFA HQ:
Cumbria; Durham; North Yorkshire; Northumberland; South Yorkshire; Cheshire; Merseyside; Northern Counties; Staffordshire; London; Lincolnshire; Northamptonshire; Somerset; Bedfordshire; Buckinghamshire; Norfolk; Inner London; Surrey, Sussex and Worcestershire.
