LEAGUE CUP UPDATE
After yesterday’s results we have qualified unbeaten into the last sixteen . The draw for which will probably be delayed until next Saturday as there has been a number of games off during the sectional games and this leaves the tables in a bit of uncertainty of who qualifies from other groups . Our opponents yesterday are indeed one of the favourites to finish one of the top four best runners up and also qualify unless there is some remarkable results in other sections not yet finished .
MASCOT APPLICATIONS
Due to the overwhelming amount of applications for the Mascot job we have narrowed it down to the following applicants . Tim Silly But Dim , Gullable AS Seen and Clueless .

Interviews will be held in Never Never Land and the successful candidate will be informed in due course . Sorry if you have not made the short list this time but we will keep your details on file for future positions .
