They may, however, play twice in each of the higher teams in the same club but on a third appearance shall be deemed to have been promoted to that position. A third appearance shall not take place in the last four matches of the season. In addition they may play twice for any other team of their club in the same division, not more than one substitute to play in a team in any one match.
Rule 3b now becomes:
Players having made three or more appearances for any one team shall not be eligible to play for a lower team without a transfer being granted by the committee. They may, however, play twice in each of the higher teams in the same club but on a third appearance shall be deemed to have been promoted to that position. A third appearance shall not take place in the last four matches of the season. Teams may not field more than one substitute in any one match. Players will only be eligible to play for a higher team in the same club providing that that team is in a higher division; ie players cannot play for another team of the same club, if the two teams are in the same division; this applies to all but the lowest division of the league.
