I have sent a message to the under 22's in Northants, but not sure if any will attend, because im staying over the night for the open, so they would have to make their own way. Il Let you know if they reply.

I have spoken to the under 22's in Northants and due to travel problems or work commitments they are unable to attend.

if there are only 5 entries will the competition still be run? I don't want to have a wasted journey as I'm not in the 7s.

It seems a shame that the only entries are from Oxford, how many entered last year? Hopefully the entries will rise next year with the increase in age limit

Hopefully the entries will rise next year with the increase in age limit It was 5 last year as well, we mixed it up in terms of each player representing a different oxfordshire association but we were all oxford like this year, except for stephen of course ;D |

Unfortunately Stephen too old for this now as he will probably drawing his pension that day, which means all the others from Northants can't get down .Shame the age was not changed for this year. :-/

I thought Stephen was staying down so they wouldn't be able to get here anyway whether he's playing or not?? ??? Tony |

I blame my father for having me a year too early! I think the trouble is the junior competitions days are numbered, because i am not sure on how old the average entry is, but within 3-5 years then most if not all of us would be too old to play under 25's, and you can keep rasing the age limit.... otherwise we could be playing the under 30's soon!

Lord knows i feel ancient as it is ;D itll be a shame to leave these competitions behind because theres something special about them, i get a bigger buzz from playing the other youngsters, theres added bragging rights incentive :) |

Obviously it would be good to win it. But winning a competiton with 5 people in is nothing to brag about. I just don't know how we could get more entries into it.

In all fairness the format worked well last year all things considered, again with just 5 entering, its good for the less experienced to have a knock |

I've sorted out a separate schedule where you will get four matches each and then the top two with play-off over two legs in the Final as we normally do. This will give you all plenty of games hopefully....
It's a lot more flexible this year as none of you are playing in the sevens.
Tony
Edited early Thurs am ;D

Was this a new rule passed at the agm then? It has always been 1 leg and equal breaks until the Semis and Final in this competition.
