Weekly Round up for Sunday 3rd December 2023

The Council of Clubs meeting last week saw the League hand over a cheque for a thousand pounds to Helen Smith for the Evelyn's Gift Charity. Helen spoke about the charity and what they support and there were a few damp eyes in the room. Steve Falp handed over the cheque which was raised by the players in competitions last year.
If you wish to support the charity go to Evelyn's Gift on facebook.
