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).

1. Get your cards online asap. Whether you won or lost – see new rules. 
2. Both sides take a photo of your completed card. Note that the idea of the card is for players/Captains to verify by signature that the scores are correct after the game.
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!

You know it’s good when you hear the wood !

We’ve published a provisional Section Fixtures and final (!) Competition Fixtures list on the website so you can plan your matches. We have some minor changes in the comps on the main league sheet (so use the separate comp fixture list) but the printers will be producing the final A3 sheets and the new scorecards this week and we’ll get the packs to your venues as soon as we can. This year’s sponsor is Dyno heating and plumbing and you’ll have a special surprise in your fixture packs!

Note we have a new Dolly Recorder this year in Vic Pratt and it’s his address on the new scorecards so please make sure you use them (they have a Wantage address).

SECRETARIES: if you’ve not logged in to make sure your credentials are still valid to enter scorecards please do so and contact us if you have problems so we don’t get a rush in the first week ! You can make sure you can reset your own passwords by ensuring you have a valid email address on your profile – that way you can use the password reset function. Thanks!
