Jun 11, 2015 — League Secretary Annual Report 2014/15
I start my report by sounding like a broken record by commenting on the impact of the weather again this year. What was pleasing was the number of clubs who made efforts to get games played when their pitches were unavailable with is greatly appreciated by the Fixture Secretaries in particular.
