This League is open to all Secondary Schools in Glasgow & District.
There are five tournaments available:
1) Junior League For teams of 4 players in S1 or S2
2) Intermediate League For teams of 4 players in S3 or S4
3) Senior League For teams of 4 players in S5 or S6
(Younger players may play in the Intermediate and Senior leagues)
4) Girls’ League For teams of 4 girls from S1-S6
5) P.B.Anderson Trophy For teams of 4 players from S1-S6.
(This is a knockout competition with an age handicap to help younger players)
An entry fee of £15.00 is paid to the League and for this sum, schools can enter one team in each category. Once entries are received, a draw is made by the Secretary who ensures that the number of home and away matches is spread evenly in the fixture list. If there is a large number of entries, then 2 columns would be made so that the maximum number of games in each tournament is kept to 5 or 6. Matches are played after school from November until May, on a date which is arranged between the two team organisers but before a deadline date which is given for each round. Individual teams of 4 players should be arranged in order of playing strength. Winning schools receive a trophy which they keep for a year; as well as individual medals. Depending on the number of teams in the league - runners-up may also receive individual medals.
At present, the number of schools entering is small but it is hoped that if this increases, the schools would be grouped geographically to minimise travelling time.
Please complete the following entry form and return with the entry fee to the Secretary by Friday 28th October 2011:
Mrs Christine MacGregor. Woodfarm High School, Robslee Road, GLASGOW G46 7BL
