The summer league starts on 22nd May 2024 this year, and because last year we started the winter season later than normal (late October) due to a longer summer season, we have reformatted the divisions to allow us to finish at the end of August this year.
With 21 teams registered, we looked at the 22 from last year and split them up as below with teams dropping out and 3 new(ish) teams coming in.
Here is the new structure
Division 1 | Division 2 | Division 3 |
SWCC B WEST END CLUB GEOERGE & DRAGON B LUTTERWORTH CLUB A OLD CROWN A WIGSTON & DIST CC C GEORGE & DRAGON A | RAILWAY A OLD CROWN B PLOUGH A BRUNTINGTHORPE SWCC C BULLS HEAD COUNTESTHORPE LUTTERWORTH CLUB B NEW PLOUGH A | PLOUGH B BRUNTINGTHORPE NEW PLOUGH B SWCC A BLACK HORSE EARL SHILTON CC RAILWAY B LORD NELSON |
Unfortunately due to the small amount of tables used across the 21 teams (14 share a table), it has meant that the scheduling on games has been hard to allow for home and away games each week for all teams, so we will have some clumps of home and aways (i.e. 2 aways followed by 2 homes, sometimes 3) but hopefully you understand that this format will be more of a benefit to everyone, including an extra division winner to play for and entry into the champions cup.
Also we do have bye weeks still but only allowed for 1 in each division, so we don’t get teams having several weeks without a game.
So enjoy the new season and good luck!
