Committee statement - Tina's Tossers 25/08  
It is with regret, we share the news of the removal of Tina's Tossers from section F with immediate effect complying with rule 3.12. Despite numerous attempts from team captains, and the committee alike, there was no response from the team, nor any attempts to reschedule the vast backlog of matches that were still outstanding to be played. While we have sympathy with the issues the over-running building works have had on scheduling the matches, another venue was found, but the matches still did not get completed. Wiith only 3 weeks of the season remaining, in the interest of fairness and competitiveness of the league, the committee have made the difficult decision (after extensive discussions and having explored all other avenues), to remove and nullify all the results from Tina's Tossers. This way all remaining matches can be completed and all teams can see what they need to achieve in order to win the section.  
   
Six a side Results  
In the first ever handicap 6 a side competition, it was The Faringdon Follicles who beat The Morris Marauders in a well contested final. After the match was level at 1-1, The Faringdon Follicles won the deciding leg. Presentation to be held on finals night.  
   
6 a side competition - Enter Now.  
Our new 6 a side competition is open for registration. There is a 'how will it work' document in document downloads. You can enter this competition via the group chat, where there is a pinned post. Alternatively you can message us directy at sec@bamptonauntsally.org. Remember, it is a handicap competition, where any team can be drawn against any team from any other league. Prem teams can play section F teams, but the lower league teams will get a 'head' start. Currently if the Troutlets and Athletico Talbot get drawn against each other, the Troutlets will start each leg with a 10 doll head start. This makes it a more level playing field.

Clever structuring, but let down by the email address - Yandex is the Russian equivalent of Google. Try again chaps - maybe spoof the sending address next time.
