After taking into consideration valid points and views regarding the set up of the 2014 Summer season and having a lengthy conversation with the chairman it has been decided that the League will be formed of 3 divisions of 12 teams with all league matches to be played on a Tuesday night with no weekly double ups on a Monday night for League matches. This will encroach upon the 2014/15 Winter League season by 2 weeks and the provisional way of thinking at this moment is that there are 50 playing Tuesdays a year, taking into consideration the 2 week break over Christmas, so having a 22 week league season in both the summer and winter this will leave 6 playing Tuesdays to play the 1st stage round robin of the League Cup competition. Currently we use 9 weeks seeing that the groups are formed of 4 x 10 teams (inc Byes). If we condense the groups to a maximum of 6 teams then dependent on the actual teams that do enter the next winter league then 5 of these Tuesdays can accommodate those matches. This will increase the number of groups taking the 2013/14 season as an example so the number that eventually qualify for the 2nd stage will be reduced in each group to accommodate this. We can discuss this fully at the AGM in September when numbers will be known. I can confirm that there are 34 teams entered into the Summer League at present so Divisions 2 and 3 will have 1 Bye with Division 1 having none.
