Saturday 13 November 2004 - Website Redesign

Regular visitors will have noticed that the site has been redesigned with an easier to navigate menu system and more space for content in the middle of the page.

One of the aims of the new site is to try and promote the league and the member clubs. We are very fortunate to play at some of the most picturesque grounds in the country. Unfortunately at the moment, the photographs that we have on the site are fairly limited. Obviously that will change as we get into next season and we can add some more grounds to the site, but if anyone wold like to submit a photograph for the site, please email us.
