at todays news. Our favourite Alien lover will be crying into his biccies

I am putting itis not missed by anyone.

My sincere apologies go to Corstorphine who, not only got their entry fee in on time, were actually the first entry I received -- 27th September 2011.

As stated earlier my mind has been distracted and, although I had a feeling it had arrived, it took me some time to track down the SAFE place I had put it in (Otherwise known as fallen down the back of the microwave in the kitchen!!)

The two Ayr teams I have definitely not heard from so would appreciate some acknowledgement to either myself or Andy Howie.

Andy has the teams and I am sure is well on the way to getting the draw organised!!!

Would these teams please contact me ASAP and let me know if they are planning to put in a team for this season's SNCL
