Lights, camera, action…. (or perhaps not in the case of the ladies 1s)

Another weekend of busy fixtures for mens and ladies teams.  The ladies 1s generosity in giving their opponents more time to travel across from Lymm meant a change in the usual start time from 12 noon to 3pm.  This triggered off alarm bells with the North league who requested a copy of the lighting certificate which then proved difficult to track down.  Lots of emails to try and locate the certificate, rearrange the start time Read more

One very tense draw..

Adel ladies 4s started early on a chilly Saturday morning, the challenge: Horsforth 1s.
