Under the competition rules, the home club is responsible for proposing match dates, they should contact you first. However, there is nothing stopping the away team making contact early with a friendly hello, and doing so often gets things moving more quickly.

How to contact them #

Team contact details, including email and phone, are available to all team captains via My Matches. If you are having difficulty getting a response despite trying both methods, Contact Us and we will try to help. We also hold contact details for club secretaries which can be useful if the team captain is hard to reach.

Keep a record of everything #

Email is invaluable for keeping track of decisions and agreements. If you have had a phone call and verbally offered or agreed dates, always follow up with a quick email to confirm the details. This avoids misunderstandings and gives both parties a clear written record if any dispute arises later, there is nothing worse than a team arriving on the wrong day.

If a home captain has not made contact and the last day of play is approaching, do not wait, contact them directly and copy in the committee if needed.
