Would all teams please note there must be a representative from each team that wants to be in the league next season present at the June meeting
Any team that is not represented will be assumed that they do not wish to particpate in the league for season 2009-2010 and will NOT be included in the fixtures.
If any new team wishes to join the league then they too should attend this meeting which is held on the last Thursday of June in the Waterin Hole Rutherglen.


NO EXCEPTIONS

Monday the 25th of May saw the finalists of our league singles return to play down to the final two. Out of a possible 17 qualifiers only 12 registered their intention of coming to the finals night.As the current holder, A. MacLeod, had been knocked out in the qualifiers it meant we would have a different winner this season and with tournament favourite Jayson Shaw taking unwell (Im sure I speak for eveyone in the league when I say get well soon Jayson) the field was wide open.
Onto the draw.................................

At the recent monthly meeting in April a date was set for the finals of the league doubles however this was unsuitable for a few of the finalsits and a new date was set, and yet once again we received calls from qualifiers to tell us this date was also unsuitable. So the doubles finals have been cancelled for this month and a new date will be set at the May monthly meeting.
This date will not be changed

At the recent league meeting the dates and venues for the IM 4 Qualifiers for our area were read out and all present members took a note for their respective teams. However if you want to know the full draw here it is......................................................................

The Rosebowl is the cup that is usually played in two sponsors venues over a two week period and this usually included teams playing on a Monday or a Wednesday however this year there were not enough teams willing to play on these days so the league will play the event on Tuesdays only but this will mean that the league will now run later than normal and the final of this tournament will not be played until the beginning of next season. This was agreed by all members that were present at the meeting.
The draw is.............................
