Pitch Requirement Forms & Terms and Conditions of Football & Cricket Pitch Hire

Pitch requirement forms along with terms and conditions for hiring out football pitches and changing accommodation including fees and charges for the forthcoming season are sent out annually usually during June (February for Cricket).

Upon receiving team's pitch requirement sheets, we try to meet their preferred options but in some cases, due to over demand, teams may be required to play at alternative venues and at different kick off times. On most occasions pitches will be available but teams must be willing to be flexible on some dates throughout the season.

Payment Procedure for Pitch Hire

Payment for the hiring of sports pitches is done through the Council's Sundry Debtor system. Teams will be invoiced for the hire of pitches at the end of each month.

Teams and Leagues need to make sure that invoicing addresses are kept up to date to ensure no problems are encountered when invoicing on a monthly basis.
