Weather considerations | That the event is on astroturf reduces the chance of cancellation but does not eliminate it. If a cancellation decision is necessary all efforts will be made to communicate with schools in good time |
Kit considerations | Conventional trainers, astro trainers or moulded stud boots should be worn Shin pads with long socks are recommended. Teams should be in uniform colours as far as possible but bibs will be available in the event of clashes |
