2024 Draw

Due to the National Championships being held in July this may have an impact on fixtures in the middle of the year. Teams are to plan for fixtures to start 11 March for points and not have 3 weeks of non points matches as has been the case in previous seasons. A final decision will be made after next week to see if this is possible or not. (Should we find that teams will be short for rounds 13 - 16 we will amend our draw to allow for that)

Secretary raised the need for transition in our committee and advised that this would be his final year in the role and the need to start planning for a replacement in 2025.
