Midweek Fixture Changes

Several fixtures need to be moved due to Wednesday/Thursday clashes on a Tuesday.

 

Stoke Cov C v Gas C From Tuesday 14th May to Wednesday 15th May

Stoke Cov C v Herberts B from Tuesday 20th August to Wednesday 17th April (6pm start)

 

 

Tue 20th Feb

Start Times

Some Midweek/Thursday matches are listed with the wrong times. This is due to them having been moved to a different date. For the avoidance of doubt, all April and September mathes this year start at 6pm, with the away team rolling up between 5:40 and 5:55pm. It is important that the home team has completely left the green before the time the away team gets to use the green.

 

Mon 19th Feb

Changes to Saturday Fixtures

The matches on the 8th June have been moved to 21st September - the original date should have been kept free for the Merits.

 

Standard A v Wagon on the 18/05 & 10/08 have been swapped.

 

The fixtures have been updated to show these changes.

 

 

Thu 15th Feb

2024 fixtures now (provisionally) live

All C&D fixtures are live but may be subject to change. This year has been particularly challenging due to the number of team playing on a Tuesday and the green overlaps with other Leagues. Thank you to the other Leagues in the North Midlands for their help in getting to this point.

 

Please check your fixtures list carefully for any clashes; if you play for Leagues outside the North Midlands please check these too.

  

We have tried to make sure that a Club's Thursday B side does not play on the same Tuesday as their a Midweek B side for example but this has led to some unusually sequences of home/away matches. Their could be instances of a Midweek A and Thursday B team playing on the same Tuesday but this is acceptable for the League.

 

Tue 30th Jan
