The second week of the Gloucester Wednesday night social netball league took place last night and once again a great time was had.

We did have a few teams who were short of players this week due to last minute unavailability and other commitments but we we still had a great night. We would like to thank all players who helped out by playing for teams who were short as this made the night run smoothly.

There were some new faces this week and it was  lovely to see them enjoy the fun as well and we expect a few more new players this Wednesday as there were a few who couldn`t start until this week.

As all teams are now established and we are adding additional players to make their squads larger, the team kitty has now been disabled and this will now save each team £50 over the course of the season as there will no longer be a charge of 50p per transaction.

However, there are a few things we would like to advise all teams on:

1. We would like to suggest that all players confirm availability for their team well in advance of the next fixture as the later you leave it, the harder it becomes to find replacements for any unavailability. Don`t forget you can still invite friends, relatives or colleagues to play if your team is short on numbers. If you are still in need of extra players, then please post a request in the Facebook Players Lounge as this page has all players for all teams playing in the league and most players love the thought of playing an extra match.

2.This week, we handed out a set of coloured bibs to each team. Please remember to bring them with you for each match, these are now the idendity of your team.

3. A reminder to all players regarding nails and jewellery. Nails must be kept short, below the finger tip, or gloves need to be worn. This is to prevent injury and the health and safety of all players. Match officials will be checking prior to the match starting each week.

4. Our leagues run throughout the year and therefore when the season ends, it simply restarts the week after and all teams are included, so there is ne need to reregister.

5. If your team needs to cancel for any reason, please remember that 7 days notice is required to avoid being charged for the fixture.
