We are now in week 15 of the league season with 7 weeks left plus bank holidays and no
cancelled matches have been played. Can we please start sorting these matches out NOW! All postponed matches
MUST be played before the last game of the LEAGUE season, not the semis or final of the Team Knockout. Failure
to do so will result in a NO RESULT.
The teams who originally cancelled the matches are highlighted in bold. That team is responsible for contacting
the opposition. However, both teams need to come to a reasonable conclusion on setting the date. The committee
will offer 3 dates to the teams in the event of a failure by the teams to agree on a date.
DO NOT leave it to the last week to re-arrange the match. This can create problems and the league will not accept
this. Please contact the
League Secretary,
Dave Whitfield, for contact numbers and re-arranged dates.
