The CUC Primary Football League and Girls’ Primary Football League action started on 20 Sept. and several schools have made an early statement in the season with dominant scores. All games during the regular season are subject to the ‘Respect Rule’, meaning scores will only be recorded up to a four-goal differential. Once the team leading by four goals scores again, though the match will continue, any additional goals scored will not count.
