At MCCA AGM (28th July 2021) the Council were of one voice and hoped that some form of OTB play could take place for 2021-22. The commitment to this hope was fully demonstrated when the General and League Secretaries formulated the following plan:
1) Determine how many clubs would be willing to participate in OTB play
2) Depending on numbers decide whether League proper or Formula League would be enacted
3) Aim to get OTB playing up and running sometime in October
The plan was circulated just before the now rearranged fixture meeting; it was delayed in part due to the extended deadline of the London League (LL). It was felt that fixtures could not be feasibly scheduled until the position of the LL was known, and their fixture dates entered into club calendars.
Anecdotal conversations with Club Secretaries and Captains intimate they are happy with the proposals. It seems therefore as though both the League proper, and Formula League will be up and running for the current cycle, thus ‘Business as usual!’
Date of fixture meeting to be confirmed
