THE ELEVENTH WARRIOR TOURNAMENT HELD IN THE FOX/WAND TETLEY GYMs ALDERSHOT ON THE 1ST APRIL 2012
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to drop you all a line to say thanks to everyone for their efforts for the Warrior Tournament.
Congratulations especially to the Wessex Ladies on their marvelous success in winning the tournament. A great achievement, well done. Also well done to the Wessex Men. A great game beating Solent in overtime which left them a bit tired when it came to playing the Army!
Thanks too to all of the Coaches, players and officials who took part. They did Wessex proud.

NO LICENCE NO PLAY
Club and Team Secretaries,
I remind you of the importance of ensuring that correct registration numbers are entered on the scoresheet for everyone on your bench for insurance purposes. I will be proposing that the fines are increased next season and also that any second offence could result in players being banned from playing, coaches banned from coaching, other personnel banned from team benches and yes Referees stopped from Refereeing. YES that is how seriously I view this issue! It is a simple task so those of you that are guilty please get a grip.
Thank you.
