If you play a minimum of nine games in the above leagues/cups and weekend individual tournaments you will get a BCF grading.

Selection of teams:
We want to give members the chance to play which is why we are entering so many leagues. The captain will contact you a few days before each game with a team sheet. if you can't play let him know. If you find out on the day you can't play, please contact him immediately as we forfeit points for no shows so it's important we find a reserve.

National Club Major vs. 4NCL

I thought we were going to drop out of the National Club Major in favour of the 4NCL?

I'm not sure how easy it will be to find a U160 averaging team this year.
