Match adjudications		14th Sept
At last night's Committee meeting, the following matches were adjudicated:-
Premier -Athletico awarded 3 + average against Carterton who failed to turn up to a re-arranged game
Premier - Carterton awarded 3 + average against Snooker Eagles who failed to re-arrange a game within the 14 day period.
Section C - Beehive Drifters awarded 3 + average against Beehive who failed to re-arrange a game within 14 days.
The following games were nulled because scores have not been entered and teams have not responded to email requests:-
Section G - Lamb & Flag C against Foxy Ladies, New Inn Originals and Sherborne Social Club
On-Line Scoring - UPDATE		1st Sept
As you'll be aware, it appears to be back to normal.The culprit was actually Google removing a script that our coding referred to. Live and learn.
Credit goes to developer Andy Webb for sorting this out so promptly. I think we can afford to buy him a beer!
On-Line Scoring		1st Sept
A fault has developed in the on-line scoring system over the weekend. Since we've made no changes, the problem would appear to lie with the hosting server, but we're having
difficulty convincing them. Until we do, the system WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY SCORECARDS, so please keep a hard copy/photos until I can report it fixed.
Apologies, but this is totally outside our control - at least it's near the end of the season.

Cancelled games to date...		22nd Jun
So far, 17 games have been cancelled this season. Fine. However, 10 of those 17 were last Thursday when England were playing Wales DURING THE AFTERNOON ??
Interesting distribution across the sections too.
See also my observation on June 10th (below).

8 A Side Squad Registration - NEW		15th May
Since 2015, the rules have required that an 8 A Side squad be registered before the second round heat (July 7th). Until now, there has been no way to do this apart from email, since
the section within the 'Competition Registration' page is faulty - and I can't fix it!. I have however written a new page just to register the 8s.
There is now a new link (highlighted in yellow) within the 'Competition ' menu. Would those teams remaining in the competition please add their squads (up to 10 players).
Once registered, the player list can be viewed via 'Competitions'->'Display Entrants'.
Section E teams - visiting the Riverside Lechlade - UPDATE		11th May
Well, surprise, surprise - they've come to their senses. The procedure has changed as follows:-
On arrival, obtain a ticket from the machine in the normal way (input your vehicle registration). On leaving, present the ticket at the bar for a refund - SIMPLES!
First match - first six		8th May
A six on the first night - well done Colin Weston (Snooker Eagles - A) and sorry Stewart Cable (Wombles - E), despite the Swan's best effort, you didn't get a six. Ask for your money back.
Name change - Section A		25th April
Sporty Rejects have asked to change their name to 'Swan Rejects', to prevent confusion following their change of venue from Jolly Sportsman Eynsham to Swan Eynsham.
Venue change - affecting Sections E and G		24th April
The Five Alls team has re-located to the Swan Radcot as the 'B' team. To accommodate this, a new Fixtures list has had to be created. Please update and use only V 3.0
New team added to Section D - affecting Sections C,D and E		18th April
A new team has been added to Section D today - Carpenters Dogs, consisting of players from last year's New Inn Dogs and Clanfield FC.
To accommodate this, a few shuffles have been necessary, affecting fixtures in Sections C,D and E.
A new Fixtures List is uploaded (v 2.0). Please ensure that you have the latest version.
Competition Entry		8th April
Competition entry is now open until June 6th. (That's TWO MONTHS).
Section E teams - visiting the Riverside Lechlade		7th April
At some point in the season, you'll be visiting the Riverside pub to play the Pheasant Pluckers. The owners (Arkells) have leased the car park to a traffic management company
who are enforcing Pay and Display with CCTV and number plate recognition. Even pub patrons have to pay(!).
The good news is that a 'Thursday Aunt Sally Amnesty' has been negotiated.
All visiting Aunt Sally drivers must give their registrations over the bar immediately on arrival, which then go on a 'white list' absolving them from prosecution.
(I say immediately, because there is a 15minute period of grace for loading/unloading).
A copy of this info will also be emailed to all of the Section E team captains.
Locked and Loaded - Ready to Roll		7th April
All configuration should now be in place and all relevant documents uploaded. If you spot anything I've missed - shout.
New FAQ added		7th April
As a reminder, you can access and print a customised 'Fixtures List' showing just your 'Home/Away' listings. How to do this has just been added to the FAQ page.
BYES - League and 8 A Side		7th April
With 65 teams registered, five byes have been inserted into sections D-G. Four of them have been allocated to position 8, (section G has an additional one in position 3).
This means that on any given Thursday, there are also 3 other teams with a bye, thus enabling friendlies. For example on the first league date, Nortoners in Section D have a bye.
They could opt to play Kitcheners, or Volly B. In the second week, Cross Keys have a bye and could play Chequers, Fox Leafield or New Inn Originals.
If you intend to take up the option - book now to avoid disappointment.
With byes inserted in the first round of the 8 A Side competition this year, any team not drawn has the opportunity to play a pre-season friendly against any other non-drawn team.
