I agreed with some points made by Roy Terrington, chairman of the Sunday League in his article (The Argus, June 6) about its decline.

For example, it is true there is a lack of interest in the game at this level and that Sunday is now a normal working day for most people.

However, I disagree what he said about the four/five-a-side leagues drawing would-be players away from Sunday football.

Firstly, mini leagues in this area take place during the week.

If a club is well organised, with a committee, they should survive the test of time.

From my experience, clubs which fold tend to be the ones run by one or two people.

I am involved with AFC Westows, a newly-formed club, and we are supporting the Sunday League with three teams, which further dispels Mr Terrington's theory that small leagues are in competition with the Sunday League.

At AFC Westows, we have generated interest through the mid-week leagues and have many players who want to play on Sunday mornings.

The league needs to be more dynamic and forward thinking in attracting new clubs and players at grass-roots level.

They could do this in some of the following ways:

1) Providing financial grants

to new clubs;

2) Working closer with the mini leagues;

3) Reduce administration on clubs by arranging for returns, such as match cards, to be sent by email.
