January's referees are available on mitoo

Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and an enjoyable night last night for the welcoming of the new year.

We are in the lap of the gods again with the weather but after last months showing surely is can't get any worse, but on previous years sods law says it will.

All the referees for the January fixtures are now on football.mitoo and all postponed games up to the 2nd January have been rearranged.

Any cup games which are called off because of the weather in January will not be rearranged within the month but incorporated into Februarys fixtures. I will endeavour to incorporate all cup matches within the months of February and March when the home clubs have their pitches available. This I'm sorry to say will affect the fixtures but I feel this is the only way to be fair with other league who will have the problem as myself getting their cup fixtures out of the way.

Here's hoping the best for the clubs in the Junior and Senior Cups next weekend for favourable results to add to the profile of this league.

Fixtures for Season

Mitoo has now got the fixtures for the rest of the season. These may be subject to change because of Cup matches and weather, but it will give you a guide to the remainder of the season.

I apologise for clubs playing multiple home or away games but I have tried to maximise the fixtures along with club I have control of when setting the fixtures and their ability to have home or away games in line with the rest of the games on those weekend.

Thanks for your cooperation.
