Gerhard played for the Bridgewater O40 team for years and was well known in the NJ adult soccer community. 6/16/12 Flemington dropped out of the O40A division. All O40A teams will have byes for Flemington's remaining games. 4/28/12 A note from John Santo: I have been informed that some teams are not adhering to the Roster exchange policy approved at the meeting. Since this is a new procedure and it may take some time to get used to, teams that do not provide a roster will not be held accountable until the end of the 4th week of the season UNLESS there is a challenge to one of their players. Starting with games on May 22 & May 24 if a team does not provide a roster to their opponent, the game MUST be played as usual but it will not count in the standings if that team wins the game. It is not considered a forfeit but as a friendly exhibition game. If the team that did supply a roster wins, the game will count in the standings. If the game is a tie, only the team that supplied the roster will get a point. 4/7/12 GFSCII in O30B dropped out and will combine with Panatieri. The new combined team will be called GFSC/Panatieri. O30B teams will have a bye for the games originally scheduled against GFSCII. 4/5/12 West Morris home field changed to Chubb park. 3/19/12 2012 Insurance Certificates are now available. 3/19/12 If you are retired or otherwise available on Friday mornings, you are invited to join a group of retirees playing soccer from 9:30 to approximately 11:30 at Berkeley Height's Snyder Ave Park (turf field). Ladies 35 and over are welcome. Target group for men is around 57 years old. If you need more information email Nick Filannino at nickfilannino@hotmail.com or call him at (908) 230-2390. 3/16/12 Over 40 schedule posted. Due to 3 teams not having fields for the early part of the season, some teams have their home game schedule front loaded. If you had a field for the first half of the season we used it - as only 8 fields were available for the 8 games each week. 3/14/12

If you have any comments, send them to John Santo. The other pages for 2012 (contacts, field constraints) have not been updated yet, but it was important to publish the divisions as early as possible. Summary of the League meeting: There were a lot of injuries last year. Team managers were reminded we are a recreational league and should remind their players of this. A new rule was implemented concerning game day rosters. It appears in a new section of the rules: Teams will exchange Game Rosters at the ref's coin toss prior to the start of every game. All players must sign when they arrive at the field and have their shirt number and age on the roster. New players may be added till start of second half. Rosters should be preprinted with all members on the team. Players that did not show for the game can be crossed out. If preprinted roster was not brought to the field, opposing team can provide a blank form or use the back of opponents form. Managers should keep all game day rosters till the end of the season. This system will be tested for one year, and re-evaluated at next year's League meeting. The Game Roster form can be found on the Links menu entry. For playoffs, rosters must be sent to John after last game of season and are frozen for the duration of the playoffs. In O30 GFSC III dropped and 3 new teams joined. Empire United split into Empire Red and Empire White. 2 additional teams joined - Liga F. Flemington, and Bridgewater HX. In addition, the Stunat team changed its name to Panatieri. With 20 teams, the division will be split into 6 teams in O30A, 8 teams in O30B, and 6 in O30C. A and B teams will play each other 3 times - for 15 games. B teams will play each other twice with a 14 game schedule. In O40 Polonia Hillsborough dropped and 2 new teams joined, Amici and West Morris. The plan is to go with 2 divisions of 8 teams, 14 games, play everyone in division twice. In O48 the same 4 teams are back, although the status of Bethlehem/Warren has not been confirmed. Trophies and plaques were handed out to last years winners. Congratulations to all the teams. 2/10/12 Cross Divisional Play added to League Meeting Agenda. 1/31/12 Insurance this year from Bene-Marc is $11 per player. Team managers must pay the insurance at the League Meeting. The league will not wait for checks to be mailed. If a team does not pay at the meeting that team will be responsible to contact Bene-Marc and handle their premium payments and certificates. This will only delay them in securing their home field since all municipalities require insurance certificates before they release their fields to teams. 1/25/12 Agenda for the 2/27/12 League Meeting:
1/25/12 Sorry to report that Hans Salopek passed away earlier this month.
