League structure for 2013/14 season confirmed and fixtures due to be announced

Following the Fixtures meeting on Sunday, it has been agreed that the league for the forthcoming season will be structured as follows:

1 division containing 12 teams. Each team will play each other once.

After all teams have completed all games, the league will be split in half, with the top 6 playing each other once more, and the bottom 6 doing the same.

Points from the first 11 games will be carried forward to help determine Division1 and Division2 champions.

We will retain the 3 Cup competitions, but to reduce the number of byes, all cups will start with group stages with the top 2 from each group progressing to the next round.

Fixtures for the 1st round of league matches and the first round of the Syd Morrell Cup will be published on the website by tomorrow evening.
