No change in the Over 14s this week and sixers are in the lower sections! 

CAPTAINS – if you are cancelling a match please ensure you contact the other Captain direct (you have their details as registered). PLEASE ensure you make it clear which team is which – we had a team not turn up this week because they didn’t specify the A or B team and the wrong team cancelled.

SECRETARIES – I have a new player registration form with NO TEAM NAME on it. I know some say I’m gifted but I’m not in mindreading. No-one has been in touch over the last fortnight or so to confirm Tuckey, Grover, Purcell and Cooper as players so thank you for your donation to the League! If you recognise these please email or IM on fb and we’ll say no more about it.

Sixers: Bob Glen (SITV FC), Stephen J Fisher (Royal Oak Didcot).

3. Put the Match ID on the scorecard which is given on screen when entered online, take a snap and post the card (with a stamp).
4. If you lost/drew – check the match scores online with your photo and send an email in with ciorrection details (and your card photo for proof).
5. If you have to Cancel a match do it 24 hours before so your host doesn’t waste food. It’s only polite.
6. Enjoy your games!
