MERSEYSIDE YOUTH LEAGUE CANCEL ALL FIXTURES DUE TO RISE IN ABUSE AND AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR

The Merseyside Youth Football League have cancelled ALL fixtures for next weekend due to a rise in abusive and aggressive behaviour and called all member clubs in for a compulsory meeting. Whilst we understand this will be disappointing for some, we are acutely aware how difficult of a decision this must have been and we firmly back the leagues stance, we can no longer accept abuse as the norm, let alone allow it to increase. Enough is Enough.

The League official statement is below.
