***NB*** Please remember if you still owe the league some money, this would be an opportune time to bring it through, before we run into any serious issues like handing out medals cut in half, but on a serious note please bring all outstanding league fees.

We’ll be having two prize-givings 1st prize-giving @ 21:00 and the 2nd prize-giving @ 22:30

So if you played at 18:30, 19:15 and 20:00 you’ll get your prizes at the 1st prize giving and then if you played at 20:45 and 21:30 you’ll get your prizes at the 2nd prize giving.

Obviously we hope all players will stay behind and enjoy the drinks and food specials at the Champs Sports Pub.

The Winter league starts on the 29th May and will cost R1700 for 10 games we hope to see all you players back on the fields beanies and all.

After weeks of toil, the semi-finals and plate events have arrived to the Sandton League at the George Lea Parks. It's been a hard season with rain delays, untimely passing away of Kim and the miraculous lights at George Lea taking strike and deciding to stop working occasionally.

I hope to see some fair and competitive games, whilst letting our referees control the game without the constant complaints in the background from our on field players. If this could be done we'll all enjoy the game a little bit better. I follow with my theory until you've tried to referee a 6-down game you'll understand it's not an easy job.

Until my next weekly report, Keep safe over the weekend and lets hope our South African Rugby teams in the Super 14 can win their respective games.

Good Luck!
Dale
