WELCOME BACK!

It's great to be writing this, because it means we are gearing up for a new summer league in 2022 after effectively a 3 year break! 

Now is not the time to dwell on the pandemic, save to say it changed us all, in different ways, and we hope that you and your loved ones stayed safe, and looked after each other.  Needless to say it was the toughest of times, and the strangest of times, and possibly the most challenging of times, and our chosen charity this year seeks to reflect that, to do what we can to support people who have been, and continue to do it tough. 

But we have come through it, and it's great that we can now get our summer season underway! so WELCOME BACK, have great season, where hopefully the weather will be brighter, players will be smiling, and umpires will be plentiful.  Let’s support one another, rebuild our confidence and enjoy spending time doing exactly what we love doing, why else would we do it?!

If you cancel your match please DO NOT cancel your umpire! 

UMPIRE QUALIFICATIONS SHOULD BE:

COMMITTEE MEMBERS WANTED

​Owing to changes in personnel in three key Committee roles this year, it has become necessary to hold a major recruitment exercise.  It is crucial for the continuation of the League that we get more dedicated people onto the committee as the remaining members will struggle to cover the weekly supervision of matches.
