THE cold weather put paid to all of the Herts Advertiser Sunday League fixtures last Sunday with all games being postponed due to frozen pitches.

In Brief

The teams that are well up with their fixtures were asked to let the league know if they were interested in entering another cup competition - The William Lawrence KO competition.

Seven teams said they were interested in the competition. As it was open to all division it became a sort of handicap competition.

The teams that entered (with handicap) are: Marshalswick (four points); Radlett Village (four points); Herts Mauritians (four points); Church End (two points); Phoenix Res (two points); Six Bells (one point) and Bradmore Rovers (one point). Each team will play each other six times, three home games, three away games.
