Representatives of Norfolk's 19 County FA-affiliated leagues were given a glimpse of the future at a well-attended football development day at the weekend.

The third annual day of its kind attracted a near 100-strong gathering of representatives from across the broad spectrum of the football family, including youth, men's, women's and veterans' leagues.

'It was a decent number. Every league was represented by at least one person. It seems to have gone down well,' said Norfolk County FA Football administration manager Matt Carpenter, after the event at Barnham Broom Hotel.

The broad range of topics included: standardising rules, central player registrations and youth development.

Rolling substitutions, introduced by several junior-level leagues this season, was another subject touched upon, with largely favourable feedback from those present. The County FA contingent present also included chairman Richard King and chief executive Shaun Turner.

Meanwhile, the battle for some of the Norfolk grassroots scene's most coveted silverware is set to resume this weekend after being put on ice.

After weeks of inactivity caused by the big freeze players will be hoping that waterlogging does not become an issue.

Quarter-final action is scheduled in the Sunday Intermediate Cup, Norfolk Veterans Cup, Norfolk Women's Cup and the John Savage U16 and Minor Cup U14 youth competitions.
