Brighton Summer League

[NigelS]

Brighton Summer League will start 2nd July.

I have made a bit of a change to the format this year. The 9 teams have been drawn into 3 groups of 3 and will play each other home and away. Each team will play 4 games in 6 weeks. The 3 winners will go into a 3-way play off, the three games will be played at neutral venues on successive weeks. I did this to shorten the competition to 9 weeks, giving us all a little rest before the winter season starts, and we did have a very long 2007-08 season.

So the groups are

Group A
Duke of Wellington A
Duke of Wellington B
Schooner

Group B
Albion
Stadium
Montreal

Group C
Brewery Tap
Romans
Three Horseshoes

Opening fixtures on the 2nd July

Duke of Wellington A v Duke of Wellington B
Albion v Stadium
Brewery Tap v Romans A
Schooner, Montreal & Three Horseshoes have byes


I will try and get all handicaps and fixtures on to the Brighton website ASAP and I will post a link here. I shall also be emailing/ posting captains the relevant information in the next couple of days.

Any feedback on the new format will be appreciated (especially if people prefer a shorter or longer summer league), and it will give me an idea on what to do next year.

For all captains info, Bill Kerr is the captain for the Summer League, but if you need to contact via forum be welcome to post me as I am acting as his secretary as he is not the owner of a computer.
