ADDITIONAL NOTES FOR NEW APPLICANTS FOR SEASON 2007 - 08

1. The 2006- 07 season commenced with 55 teams in five divisions. The ideal number of teams in each division is twelve. There are now 48 teams with seven teams having withdrawn. The number of withdrawals at the end of the season will determine in part the structure of the League for season 2007 - 08. The league will still have five divisions, with the Committee hoping that the lowest division will be predominantly formed by teams with players in the 18 - 20 age range.

Before accepting any team into the league, the Committee need to ensure that there exists the necessary financial support and commitment to make the club a success. In addition every team must have a qualified first aider, (See application form for further detail).
