To All Club Secretaries, T&DJFL
LET'S KICK RACISM INTO TOUCH
Re: RACIAL ABUSE
Dear Secretary,
League position on racial abuse for the benefit of existing member and new club's/teams.
Racial abuse has in the past been reported to the management committee. This particular practice is both immoral and a criminal offence. The management committee will take any action necessary to remove this stigma from the T&DJFL.
It is important that all members recognise the implications of any racial abuse given by players, officials, or spectators, of their respective clubs.
Severe penalties will be levied at individuals and clubs who contravene the above which could include dismissal from the League.
I am pleased to report that only one incident was brought to our attention over the last season and I thank all clubs for their help and understanding on this matter. We need to maintain this good practice within the T&DJFL. Please remind all your club officials, players and supporters re this matter.
Have a successful and sporting season.
John Burnett
Chair
Timperley & District Football League
