SELECTION POLICY

For Individual Senior Players Registered

This selection and training policy applies to all individual senior players who register with the club and are available for selection across the Club's Senior teams - Premier Men, Premier Reserve Men, Premier Three and Championship 5.

It is your responsibility to read the selection requirements.

These requirements will help make training and selection smoother and fairer for everyone.

All players must be registered and fully financial with the club to be eligible for selection.

Any outstanding subs from previous seasons must be paid in full before you are eligible to be selected.

Selection Policy 2026/27

Selection Process

The Selection Committee will select the best possible teams each week, considering the following factors:

  • Financial position of the player – players must be registered on PlayHQ and be fully financial (No Pay, No Play policy applies)

  • Team balance and requirements for the game

  • Player performance and form

  • Preference is given to those who are available for both days of a two day game.  Especially for Premier Men

  • Training attendance and commitment

  • Attitude, sportsmanship, and conduct

  • Player development and future pathway opportunities

Selection priority is to the Premier team, Reserves, Premier Three and then Championship 5. Preference, where possible, will be given to players who train regularly.

Selection decisions are final, and the Selection Committee’s responsibility is to the club first. Players may discuss their own selection with the selection committee. Players may not challenge or query the selection of other players.

Teams will be selected on the Thursday before the first day of the game, with announcements and match details shared later that evening on TeamReach.

While the club values and appreciates any support offered through kindness, sponsorship, or contributions in lieu of fees, this does not create any expectation of selection or promotion to a higher level. Team selection decisions are based solely on performance, form, commitment, attitude, and the needs of the club.

Each committee member has one vote.
