If anyone has any general news concerning the League, which they feel should be publicised, then please e-mail the web-master at

Mini Soccer
Fixtures

To avoid further queries and panic, additional round fixtures for Under 7's and 8's, to progress to end of season, will be posted soonest.

16/01/12 Website
www. phyl.co.uk is now located on a new hosting site which should prove more economical and adaptable to current software. For most the transition has been unnoticable, excepting occassional loss of downtime, and will remain so. We will however endeavour to improve the site, especially in relation to co-ordination with Full Time, and would appreciate your feedback and suggestion on any positive measures.

06/11/11 Remembrance Sunday
In recognition of the nation's Act of Remembrance on Sunday 13th. November 2011, the League would request that all matches played on this date be voluntarily preceded by a period of one minute's silence.

05/11/11 Liz Lovegrove
Resignation
Sadly, the League has received and accepted Liz's resignation as Assistant Secretary and Cup Secretary with immediate effect.

Her decision is made due to increased work commitment, in which we wish her well, and we thank her for her efforts, innovation, and dedication to the roles she undertook.

31/10/11 Search Engine Warnings On this auspicious day, All Hallow's Eve, all gremlins SEEM to have been banished from the site.

23/10/11 Search Engine Warnings Unfortunately, a current search on any Google based engine for the PHYL website, www.phyl.co.uk , will announce that "This site may harm your computer", and advise you not to proceed. Please note the word MAY. If you have reached here, then you have either ignored the warning, or, more likely, have a direct link from your desktop or Favourites folder.
Outgoing material is scanned prior to uploading by Avast, and a daily a.m. scan of the website folder is performed by Microsoft Windows Defender. These are made on a dedicated laptop, and I monitor the site from my independent desktop, running Norton (and Windows Defender). To date, I've received no reports from Norton of any irregular activity or threat, and my system is functioning normally.

Google also state that the site was found to contain malicious code in the last ninety days on one, unidentified, page, so I have today rescanned all uploads from September 2011, with NO untoward reports. Disturbingly, I now find that several websites with sporting links are experiencing similar notices, but please bear in mind that PHYL collects NO data through the website, and, if malware is present, it would almost certainly be of the "phishing" nature, which would not compromise any personal content, which of course is freely available through the various directory files.

However, in the unlikely event that this poses a significant threat, please ensure that you own protective software is up to date, and maintained thus, not just for PHYL, but all of your internet browsing.

I will contact the domain provider tomorrow, and request their scan, but, in the meanwhile, continue to post current information, and thank you for your continued support.

13/09/11 Non-Competitive Fixtures (now available on this website; shortly to be published on FA Full Time)

Unfortunately, there is an imbalance of teams between U7 and U8 this season, which may result in a conflict of fixtures, affecting venues. In such circumstance, the League has no objection to MUTUAL REVERSAL of a particular weeks' fixtures between Clubs, PROVIDING the appropriate Divisional Secretary is timeously advised. Should however RE-SCHEDULING of the fixture be necessary, this will be programmed by the League.

11/09/11 e-mails There is a high incidence of e-mails addressed to PHYL officials not reaching intended recipients, due to incorrect punctuation. All PHYL addresses, by design, have no punctuation before @phyl.co.uk, and all Divisional Secretaries' sobriquets end only in "s" (i.e. u7s@phyl.co.uk; girls@phyl.co.uk)
Would EVERYONE please check their address books, on ALL devices, and correct accordingly, to avoid misunderstandings,               miss-direction, and ultimate mysterious loss into the ether.

08/06/11 P.H.Y.L Committee At the P.H.Y.L. Annual General Meeting, held Wednesday 1st. June 2011, all of the 2010 - 2011 standing past season's Officers and Committee were returned by overwhelming vote.
As a committee, totally dedicated to youth football, we acknowledge concerns raised by our erstwhile opponents, and understand that we should address obvious past errors. However, it must be recognized that the League is governed by F.A. Standard Code, and H.F.A Rules, both of which are incorporated into our rules, and from which we are allowed only minor amendments.

08/06/11 Presentation Day Photos The Basingstoke Gazette are publishing this Thursday, 9th. June 2011, a sixteen page supplement which will include photographs of participating Presentation Day teams. I hope you're all included, and correctly named. If not, I accept full blame for any errors in team identification; it was just a little hectic, but the photos remain, and will be orderable by code number, with no overprint.
It's a long time past since we had this coverage, but hopefully we can re-establish it for next year, and many years to come. SO, don't miss your copy, on sale tomorrow morning a.m., and remember to order your prints for family and friends via their contact number or website (Father's Day present? - easy peasy - problem solved).
