TERRENCE CHALLENGER
1949-2020
It is with great sadness we report the passing of Life Member Terry Challenger after a long illness. Terry was elected onto the Association in 1988 to serve the Gwent Central League. Terry served the Association as Chairman from 2007-2009 and was made a Life Member in 2009. In recognition of Terry's services to football, he was awarded an FAW Long Service Medal in 2017. Our sincere condolences go out to all the family at this very sad time.
R.I.P Terry.

FAW CORONAVIRUS UPDATE.
The Football Association of Wales has taken the
decision to extend the current suspension of all domestic football in
Wales until at least Thursday, 30 April 2020 due to the COVID-19
pandemic.
The FAW is committed to exploring every
possible option for all National Leagues to conclude the 2019/20 season
by ensuring that matches are played as soon as it is safe to do so.
As a result, the FAW’s Board of Directors
agreed today (20 March) to exercise their powers and indefinitely extend
the 2019/20 season for all National Leagues, National Cup Competitions
and the FAW Futsal League.
Above all, the most important priority for the FAW is the health and wellbeing of everyone. The FAW encourages everyone to follow the advice of the UK & Welsh Governments and Public Health Wales. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the pandemic.

FAW INSTRUCTION.
Bluefin, the FAW's insurance providers, have
issued an update:
"In light of the recent government
announcements and upon confirmation all grassroots football in Wales is
to cease it is important to note that neither the Countycover
Liability insurance package or Personal Accident insurance arranged
through the Football Association of Wales will respond to claims if
clubs continue to provide sessions which is against the advice of the
Government and Governing Body".
"This includes clubs arranging matches,
training sessions, friendlies, competitions and tournaments".
"Furthermore, as Personal Accident insurance
does not provide cover in respect of Sickness, Disease or Illness, there
is no cover for a person contracting COVID-19 whilst playing or
training".
"There is an obligation for all officials to
take all reasonable precautions to ensure the wellbeing of members and
we thank you for your co-operation at this unprecedented time."

FAW INSTRUCTION.
All fixtures including friendly fixtures are cancelled until the
4th April 2020.

The Gwent Central League are looking to appoint a Secretary to commence in the 2020/2021 season.
The
post
will
be
ideal
for
anybody
with
an
interest
in
promoting
&
improving
grass
roots
adult
football
in
a
well-established
Torfaen
&
Abergavenny
district
adult
league
serving
a
number
of
clubs
based
in
&
around
Pontypool,
Blaenavon,
Usk
&
Abergavenny
areas.
The
duties
would
include
organising
&
notifying
regular
fixtures
for
all
member
clubs,
allocating &
contacting
match
referees,
beings
responsible
for
registering
players
on
an
annual
basis
for
our
league
on
the
new
FAW
Comet
system
(for
which
training
will
be
given),
liaising
with
Gwent
County
FA
&
FAW on
any
league
disciplinary
matters
+
minute
taking at
monthly
league
meetings
etc.
Although
it
is
not
an
employed
earner
position
it
does
attract
generous
expenses
&
an
annual
allowance
as
a
reward
for
services
rendered.
Ideally,
it
would
suit
somebody
with a
basic
knowledge
of
football
admin
but
this
is
not
absolutely
essential
as help
&
guidance
can
be
given
by
the
outgoing
Secretary
in
the
run
up
to
the
2020/21
season.
