Friday’s results are generally a week behind due to printing schedules.

Fantastic numbers with 18 teams consisting of 70 players to start the season. This is by far the most numbers we have had to kick off the season and look forward to even bigger numbers if and when we get some nice weather.  

As always, new teams and players are welcome at any stage of the year.

 Many thanks to returning teams and a big welcome to our new teams, your support of the competition and sales over the bar is greatly appreciated by all at the club.
