Yes, 40 minute matches.

 

2 minute half time.  Standard rules, all free kicks are direct.

 

Only difference to what we are used to is this.

 

One of the biggest differences during a game is that play restarts from the goalkeeper after a goal - with good reason.

We worked out that over the course of an average game with 15 goals, almost 8 minutes (sometimes more) of playing time would be wasted while teams reset for a centre kick. By continuing the game straight from the keeper we have been able not only to save time but to also ensure that the flowing football is practically non-stop and teams have to be switched on. 
 
The other benefit of this rule is that we are able to reduce game duration slightly without teams losing out on playing time or players having less of a work out - the knock on effect of this is that we save money on refs fees and floodlights, and we pass that on to you, which is why we are able to offer league games for only £20 - the best in the North West.
