September 11, 2008 Kick Off and Cup Draw
Well who would have thought it? Normally the opening fixture takes place under azure skies on bowling green level playing surfaces. Not this year though as the Monsoon swept through the Midlands.
Just one match survived the weather- in the League’s far north up in Hinckley. In a match-up between the new debutants in Division 2, Hinckley Baptist B defeated Mosaic 6-3. A good game by all reports and welcome to both of you!
Monday night saw the Cup Draw. With the extra teams this year, we are holding a preliminary round involving four teams on 4th October. The winners of Hinckley B and Elim will face Lowfors at home. The victors in the St John’s and Hinckley Dare clash will face the tasty prospect of cup-holders Meredith Road at home. The “First Round Proper” will take place on 1st November.
Thanks to all of you for making this a fantastic League to be part of. Here’s to another great season.
