- The responsibility for arranging each match shall rest equally with both clubs. Matches MUST be played by the date stated and in the event of a result not being notified to the County Secretary by the prescribed date, BOTH clubs will be eliminated unless notification in writing has been received from either or both by that date claiming the tie, on whatever grounds.
