As per the Fixture List issued to every captain at the start of the season, for all of you who entered the Adnams Cup, your 1st Round fixture needs to be completed by Sunday 26th April.
If you have already made contact with the League Co-Ordinator then please ignore this reminder, but for those who haven't, can you please advise us as soon as possible as to what date your match is arranged for.
Shortly the knock-out ''tree'' for the Plate will appear on the website, with all 1st Round Cup Losers dropping back into this competition, all in the same order as the original cup draw, so for instance the loser of the Christchurch v Eels Foot match will play the loser of the Carlton Park v Lets Play Boules Playford match and so on.

Goodbye and Hello
Some of you may already have been aware or may have noticed the league tables looking slightly different but The Bell Walberswick have decided to withdraw from the league, and therefore their division is now adjusted to a four-team group.
In the meantime, the Hollesley Shepherd & Dog team have now moved to a newly-built piste at the Shottisham Sorrel Horse and will now be known as The Bouligans Shottisham. After playing on the Hollesley car park since the start of the league (with Hollesley being one of the Original 9 founding members), it will be great for them to finally play on a purpose-made playing area.
We wish both teams all the best for the future and especially hope to see The Bell return perhaps next season.

Want to play for Suffolk County?
Do you think you have the skills and are ready to pit your wits against our regional cousins, Norfolk?
Well, this year we have two matches versus our northern counterparts lined up, the first being at Drayton in May and the return fixture in October at British Sugar Sports & Social Club, Bury St Edmunds.
The County team consists of 8 triples teams, ie 24 players and whilst it is easier if you can enter as a triple, if you are a single person or a pair, our Selection team can match you up with adequately suitable playing partners accordingly.
Similarly, as the EPA allows triples to enter with a fourth player, if it is easier to name four players in your team, then please also feel free to do so.
So, if you think you have the ability and confidence to step up to the next level, please let the League Co-Ordinator know before the 28th April, so that you can be considered for selection. Putting your names forward is no guarantee that you will be selected.
If the matches are over-subscribed, especially the October home match, we may need to hold a County Team Qualifier event to base our selection decisions upon.
