good evening all, 

Thank you for your patience with regard to sorting out the fixtures with the dates and the divisions. It was a little more tricky this year with the new format of the cup competition. 

A reminder that the times of the matches is 6.30 pm for matches in April and August and 7.00pm for May June and July. It is an 11.00am start for the over 60's

 

The Cup fixtures will be drawn this coming Thursday 20th March and will be posted by the end of the week.

The change in format of the cup has allowed us to play all but 1 round (semi-final) on a designated Thursday evening which will hopefully help clubs. There is seven weeks between quarters and semi’s to allow plenty of time to arrange the semi finals

With many thanks and kindest regards

Wed 19th Feb
 To all Clubs
 
Please can I remind you that you need to tick on the registration list whether players are registered to play in over 60's or Thursday night or both.
 
You also need to put 55 after any players name if they are between 55 and 60 if you want to register them to play in the Over 60's team. You should also delete 55 from any player previously registered to play who is now over 60 as we use the 55 indication to keep track of the number of time a player under 60 that is used.  
Many thanks
Louise
