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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
