Schools county cup

I’ve been asked to referee a schools U18 county cup match this week (asked by the school, not appointed by county FA).

I haven’t refereed one before and rarely do middles for youth games. Any general advice? The online competition rules are a few years old but appears to be 40mins each way, rolling subs etc.

They hardly ever update the competition rules for those school games.

I always found that the schools basically made it up as they went along in terms of competition rules. Always best to contact either County FA or Schools FA
 
My greater concern is that the rules stipulate 20mins of extra time during the winter’s dying light. Safe to say there won’t be much injury time!

I can only hope kick off is no later than 1 - 1.30pm, because if 2pm then you will definitely struggle to get in 20 mins of extra time (& potential penalties) if required.
