Match Secretary Craig Burton advised clubs at a special covid meeting that competitive matches will commence on Saturday 17th October.

He said “This gives clubs time to play some friendlies and get ready for competition and to secure venues for matches”.

He also advised that the league are looking at re-instating the latter stages of last seasons cups as all at either Semi final or final stage and “potentially if we can source venues we can fit them in so players and clubs can still seek some success from a disastrous end to last seasons campaigns”.
