Is this legit. There is a link to click for a health screen. I am always suspicious on clicking on these sort of links. Anyone else had one?

On a serious note though, i am sure that one of the F.A guidance notes asks for the balls to be sanitised at intervals during play so wonder if you will be expected to wipe the ball down once/whilst retreiving. 2020/21  LLDWWLDLDWLWLLLDLWLLDLLDL 2019/20  WDLDWWLDLWWLLLDLDLDLDDWWDLLWDDWWLWLLW - ended 2018/19  LWDDLLLLLLWWDWLLLWDWLWWWWLLLLWWWWDLLLDDLLDLWLW Hello Scunny   2017/18  WLLLWLWWLDDWDWDDLLWWWDLDLLLLDLLDLLLLDLLDLWDWWW   2016/17  WLLLWDWLWWLDWLDDWDLLLWDWWLWLDLDWLWLWLDDLWWLWLD Logged Offline 2 1 Reply: 12 - 21 KingstonMariner October 23, 2020, 6:22pm Barley Wine Drinker Posts: 17,417 Posts Per Day: 7.10 Reputation: 82.14% Rep Score: +38 / -8 Approval: +17,195 Quoted from Gaffer58 We could have 1000 ball retrievers, 500 mighty mariners, even 100 match day mascots, in fact the list could be endless.
