Knockout
The first round of the Leslie Dodds Cup has a strict – but generous – deadline of the 4th November, eight weeks from the Friday after the AGM.
Winners in round one play in the Leslie Dodds Cup, losers in the Gainsborough Plate. Both events are drawn at the completion of the initial round.
League
We have lost four teams and gained two, one has renamed and 27 teams compete in five divisions. The teams dropping out were unfortunately clustered in and around Division Five which is now reduced to four teams: we are open to innovative suggestions.
This is a schematic view of the changes.
| Division | New 1 | New 2 | New 3 | New 4 | New 5 | Out |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Old 1 | 1234 | 56 | ||||
| Old 2 | 12 | 34 | 56 | |||
| Old 3 | 12 | 34 | 56 | |||
| Old 4 | 12 | 34 | 56 | |||
| Old 5 | 2 | 34 | 15 | |||
