| URGENT APPEAL - Lost - and now happily Found... | 14/10/2024 |
||
 |
|
The
miserable little chap pictured here was cruelly abandoned by his
inebriated father/mother on Saturday night - whether in jubilation
or despondency we know not.
UPDATE - The joyous stick has been re-united with its' suitably remorseful 'parent'- allegedly a PHEASANT PLUCKER - we're trying to find out which team he plays for !! Thanks to all who offered to foster the stick. |

| New competition venue proves a great success | 21/07/2024 |
||
| Rarely is a new venue offered the opportunity to host a prestigious competition heat in their first year, but we have been so impressed with the | |||
| effort made by the Old Swan at Minster Lovell that we held the Primary 4 A Side heats there this evening. As you can see, the throw is well | |||
| constructed and the location is perfect for viewing. Pictured are the ten teams that took part in the heats. | |||
| A big thanks to Vicky & the team for hosting us. | |||
 |
|||

| Second six | 21/06/2024 |
||
| Congratulations to Ady Pitts - Athletico Horseshoe - for his second six of the season. | |||
| Pairs Heats - | 20/06/2024 |
||
| The Pairs heats will be held this Sunday - 23rd June. | |||
| Will entrants please assemble at the Morris Clown, where, at 6:00pm, a roll call will be taken and by random draw, allocated and dispersed | |||
| between the Morris Clown and Talbot. Subsequently match draws will be made. | |||
| If you realise that you can't make it - please let us know * | |||
| This year, all heats will be played down to finalists. | |||
| NEW - tossing - the winner of the first toss gets to choose in legs 1 and 3; the loser chooses in leg 2. Good luck to all. | |||
| *In previous years, draws were made in advance, equalising the number of entrants across the selected venues, but then 'no shows' on the night | |||
| significantly unbalanced the draw - hence now we're doing it all on the night. | |||

| Key Changes for 2024 | 28/04/2024 |
||
| Committee: | |||
| Gav Carter (Grifters) stepped down having served since 2011 and Bez Berry (Bell B) and Jamie New (Faringdon Follicles) were elected. | |||
| Jamie will have additional responsibility for 'the techy stuff' in the future. | |||
| Competitions: | |||
| Heats - will be played out to finalists. | |||
| Tossing - (COMPETITIONS ONLY) - in order to speed games up - | |||
| Winner of the toss gets full choice in legs 1 & 3 (inc 3/1 stickers); loser gets choice in leg 2. | |||
| Date changes - | |||
| Instead of the mid-season Thursday being 8 A Side Round 2, it will be used for ALL singles heats. | |||
| The season is therefore extended for a week to complete the 8s heats – finishing Thursday Sept 26th | |||
| The Pairs competition heats have been moved from Sunday 14/07 to Sunday 23/06 to avoid a possible conflict with Euro 2024 Finals. | |||
| NEW - Beer League Competition | |||
| A £75 cash prize will be awarded to one team in each section for the highest number of beer leg wins in the season. | |||
| In the event of a draw, beer leg dolls will decide the winner. | |||
| If the numbers of players in the beer leg differ, scores will be taken from those who participated in the league legs. | |||
| If a team declines to play the beer leg, the other team will be awarded 1 point immediately and average dolls at (and after) Week 9. | |||
| Entry is entirely voluntary and requires the team to send in a weekly photo of the scoreboard clearly identifying both teams and the beer leg doll totals. | |||
| The entry deadline is Sunday night - same as the score deadline. Late entries will not be added to the cumulative score. | |||
| You can send the photo to either :- shadmin@bamptonauntsally.org or WhatsApp it to 07769 941162. | |||
| Periodically, running totals will be published on the web site on a new link 'Beer League Table' in the 'League' section. | |||
| Below is an example of what the League table might look like- (It's only an example - don't get ratty!) | |||
 |
|||
| Food Agreement Policy:- is scrapped. | |||
| If these trials are successful, some of them may be incorporated into the Rules for next year. | |||
| The full AGM minutes are published on the 'Document Downloads' page. | |||
| Section B - team withdrawn | 20/04/2024 |
||
| Accepting the irony of the article below, regrettably have to inform all section B teams that Misfits have withdrawn from the league and | |||
| therefore you're back to having a bye in your section. | |||
| Fixtures have been updated (v 5.0) - please destroy any previous versions. | |||
| Welcome to new teams for 2024 | 15/04/2024 |
||
| In the shrinking world of Aunt Sally, we're pleased to welcome FIVE new teams to the league this season :- | |||
| Elmo 2 | Elm Tree Witney | ||
| Firefoxes | Kidlington FC | ||
| Old Swan | Old Swan Minster Lovell | ||
| Plough | Finstock | ||
| Tower Hill | West Witney SSC | ||
| ...and the return of Minster Lovell SSC | |||
| Subscription fees - update | 18/04/2024 |
||
| Reminder - to teams that still haven't paid - league or 8s results will be voided unless/until payment received. | |||
| This year's fees remain at £50 per team for the third consecutive year (all inclusive) | |||
| Bank details can be found on the 'Contact Us' page. | |||
| Supplies of Aunt Sally kit | 03/04/2024 |
||
| With registration complete, thoughts are doubtless turning towards getting the throw ready for the season, so a word about suppliers. | |||
| In the 'Documents Download' section is a page dedicated to equipment suppliers. | |||
| Sticks, dolls, posts and swivels continue to be supplied by Brian Collins. Prices have been updated for 2024. | |||
| Backdrops - with our previous supplier having gone out of business, we have found a replacement - Witney Shirts at New Yatt. | |||
| You'll need to define precise dimensions to obtain a quotation. | |||
| Committee Member Vacancy - NOW FILLED | 26/03/2024 |
||
| This year we are inviting members to apply for a vacancy on the Committee. | |||
| If you’re interested and would like to support the operation of the league, get in touch by phone or email. | |||
| Team Registration 2024 - get a freebie | 19/02/2024 |
||
| If you introduce a new team for 2024, we'll give you free registration next season providing they fulfil at least half a season's matches. | |||
| As a consequence of difficult communication with some of the lower section teams last season, the Committee reserves the right to refuse | |||
| entry to teams with previous poor behaviour. We may also return to capping a decade number of teams to remove byes. | |||
| Register early to avoid disappointment. | |||
