Notices!
Wed 11th July – the Committee will not be blanket postponing any matches due to the possibility of an England World Cup Fixture that week. We voted to have the 8s Competition on a Wednesday and this already extended the league by 2 weeks. There aren’t enough weeks to keep extending the league season without it being an issue. The rules (14) allow teams to re-arrange games as required. Providing you let us know you can play any night of the week before the following Wednesday.
Week 9 Online cards – thank you for those eagle eyed who spotted the week number wasn’t changed last night. Our bad. We’ve now corrected the cards so if you have any other problems email support @ abingdonauntsally.com.

p.s. Just a reminder about the EGM on the 4th of April. It will start at 7-45 and would request that as many of you as possible attend as there may be issues to be voted on, and you can view your thoughts and suggestions etc.. Will get a few rolls done and I’m sure we will have time for some practice.
