Thank you to the teams that were present and especially to the Clifton and Co Accounting team who were faced with a forfeit at the grounds but still stayed and had a run for the full period.

A special thanks to the referees who gave up their leisure time to officiate.

The Mixed Competition is becoming interesting now that teams have settled into grades for the countdown to the finals?

This week the second round of the new gradings starts where teams will have a second chance at the teams from round one to see if they can turn results around.

Some teams appear to have been struggling for numbers after the festive break,

Let’s hope all teams have their full complements back on deck so results are a truer indication in the lead up to the finals.

All teams are advised that all players in their teams must have played a minimum of five games throughout the season to be eligible to play in the finals series.

Men’s Competition Notice - The Michelles Patisserie 2 team forfeited at the grounds last week and therefore incur a $30 fine, which must be paid prior to playing this week.
