1. CKA LEAGUE STRUCTURE

Same teams entered as in 2022/23, so same structure with promotion and relegation i.e : 2 Divisions
Division 1, 9 teams : C2, T3, V1, C3, L1, P1, T4, C4, U1
Division 2, 8 teams : V2, T5, L2, P2, U2, V3, P3, C5

2. REFEREEING

(James Thomson, Vikings): Three of our qualified referees have just left the club, so we are currently down to two refs, both of whom have playing and coaching commitments. We're addressing this as a matter of urgency but it will be an issue for referee resourcing this season.

3. PLAYER TRANSFERS

(James Thomson, Vikings): There's a lack of clarity about the process for players moving clubs out of season. At least two (possibly three) of our players have gone elsewhere this summer and two, possibly three (depending on who currently holds the registration) players have come to join us. I don't think that this needs to be particularly complicated but it would be good to have some sort of process in place.

The EKA deals with player transfers, the CKA is not involved and is not notified.

NEXT MEETING
