Rules for Albufeira now available….
With the tournament no only a couple of weeks away, we have the rules and additions to the newly released English FA rules that will apply for the upcoming tournament.

Could all players have a read and make sure they are aware of these in advance of the tournament.
Extended session in Tavira in preparation for the Albufeira tournament…..
With the tournament now only a few weeks away, we are extending the session in Tavira on Monday Feb 13th to get all of the players together to discuss rules, tactics, positions etc. The session will take place as normal from 9.30 am to 11.30 am, and then we have booked the pitch for an extra hour until 12.30. Can we ask all 30 players involved to try and make it along (at least for the last hour). Thank you!
Teams selected for Albufeira….
We will be entering 3 teams into the tournament in Albufeira in March.
It is a 7-a-side one day tournament, no running and 3 touches. We are awaiting more comprehensive rules and details at this time.
We have at this stage selected 3 teams of 10 with 3 subs. The selections and final numbers may well change as we draw closer to the date. Injuries being the usual reason. The club will pay all players entry fees.The club will provide shirts and if we can suggest you could wear white shorts and white socks that would be great.
Andy Smith has circulated a list of hotels for those who wish to stay in Albufeira, I know a number of people are staying the night after the tournament. Always a decent jolly I might add.
Each team will have a captain who be responsible for co-ordinating their respective team including practice, selection of positions, familiarity with the rules, tactics and team selection and substitutions on the day.
We would like to thank the other members of the selection group for giving their free time to ensuring that we are well represented once again at an Algarvian Tournament, particularly as the club is defending this trophy.
Please find below the selected teams; please note anyone else wanting to play but not registered to play will be on a wait & see basis.
