Due to an ongoing back injury I have reluctantly had to withdrawn a number of teams from certain competitions. With the department one person light and the number of extra curricular fixtures/competitions entered in other sports, there is just not enough dates available to meet the present fixture backlog.
I have based these decisions on distances travelled to fixtures, deadline dates, fixtures already played in competitions, teams playing out of age group and opportunities for players to compete in other competitions.
Therefore the competitions we have had to withdraw from are: Under 13 girls County League, Under 16 Boys County League and Under 17 Boys National Cup.
I hope that you can appreciate that we are still in a number of County Competitions and that staff members not usually scheduled to take fixtures for these competitions will be giving up additional time to do so.
If all squad members for each team can please keep checking the blog and PE noticeboard it would really help the department.
I have posted new fixture dates for all age groups still in County Competitions and the year 7 District League starts against Roundwood Park on the 21st January. Please check the blog for new fixture dates.
Good luck in all forthcoming fixtures.
Mr Stewart
