A message to all captains

Per discussion at the 2022 AGM we are going to try to be more pro-active when it comes to postponed games being rearranged. DBSL have created a Fixture Postponed Form where captains can enter their details and advise the committee on games that were postponed, reasons why and possible date re-arrangements. We will work closely with the captains to get the matches completed in a timely manner and not have fixtures unnecessarily dragging on.

The form is located in the website menu or just underneath the league table on the home page. Please fill out the form and submit once a postponed fixture has arisen.

Regards

Kevin
