They are allowed 5 players over 21 a n the starting 11, any others?
Five! Crikey, that's as many as they can squeeze in and keep it as it says on the tin 'Under 21s'
Does that mean at a later stage in the game they could have eight overage players on the pitch?
7.8 Each Invited Club must ensure that in each Match:
7.8.1 at least six of the starting eleven players named on the Team Sheet are players who were aged under 21 as at the 30th June in the year in which the Season concerned commenced; and
7.8.2 no more than two players who:
(i) are aged 21 or over; and
(ii) have made 40 or more appearances in a First Team Fixture (either in the starting elven or as a playing substitute)
in each case as at the 30th June in the year in which the Season concerned, shall be named on the Team Sheet.
