There were a few issues last season with getting all matches to be scheduled and hopefully this season the situation improves, especially for Division Two. Probably my fault a bit for not reminding sides.
Also there still was some confusion over home and away fixtures. Just reminding everyone all matches are neutral and anyone can challenge. But when challenging make sure you take note of pitch conditions allocated to each match.
Lastly but most importantly their will be an extra playoff spot for Division Two sides. Last season the last couple rounds were somewhat dead rubbers for a lot of sides. Hopefully this change increases the amount of live matches at the back end of the season.
Good luck to all the sides. Hopefully we can have another successful and interesting competition.
