Britannia

Unfortunately the Britannia are unable to field a team this season, so your fixture against them will be a free week. We may be able to find a team to replace them and of course if we do you will be immediately informed.

Last Night's Quiz

As you may know last night’s questions failed to arrive at three venues. They were posted the week before, so yet again the postal service has let us down. Crucially the Running Horses, which receives the spare quiz, was one of those three so as a result two of the matches were postponed and will be played on September the 6th using last night’s quiz. Can I therefore ask you and your teams NOT to divulge any of the details of the quiz to anyone - the quiz will obviously not be posted on the website.
The postponed matches are :- Running Horses v Bryn Labour Club and Millstone v Merrymen
