The Wednesday Fours League has reverted to two divisions of 6 teams which means all teams will play on every match day and both divisions will start and end on the same date.

The Fours League season will start a couple of weeks later than in the past. This allows it to coordinate with the Triples League for the mid-season break.The mid-season break for the Fours League will be in the same weeks as the Triples League. The weeks beginning on Mondays 22nd and 29th June will be free of matches EXCEPT for one rearranged fixture.

The Tuesday Triples League has a new team which enters in the C-Division. This makes three divisions of 8 teams which means all teams will play on every match day and all divisions will start and end on the same date.

The mid-season break for the Triples League in the weeks beginning on Mondays 22nd and 29th June will be free of fixtures.
