    What do you mean? We're entering the same sides as last year - 5 ladies, 6 men's.

    Just that there wasn't a new league structure on here... just went down to 5's!

    Doesn't help that you're looking at the ladies structure...

    I know some of you have been asking about fixtures and start times.

    Sadly, there is still no news about the men's 4s, 5s and 6s yet, thus it is difficult to allocate pitch times at the moment. However:

    Ladies 1s and 2s games will generally be at 12.00 at Hurstmere, with a couple of exceptions
    Men's 1s and 2s games will be at 13.30 at Hurstmere, with the exception of the 2s v 3s game which will be at 15.00
    Ladies 5s will be given slightly preferential treatment as they had most of their Hurstmere games cancelled last season.

    I'm told the fixtures for the men's 4s, 5s and 6s will be out next Wednesday, so hopefully I'll be able to allocate home venues and times shortly afterwards.

    Shall we put a copy of the poster up at the club for last few weeks of cricket season son?

    They already have one dartboard... you can try, but I suspect it'll last no more than 10 minutes.

    Oh come on they aren't that bad!

    The majority of the fixtures are now sorted out. It'll take a bit of time to update both FixturesLive and this website, but you should see some progress over the weekend.

    Details of all home games, and known away games are now available in the team pages. If you spot anything unusual, please let me know.

    I'll continue to update the pages as soon as more away fixtures come through.

    The new Umpires Appointment pages will be updated later.
