The draw for the 2023/24 Super League was made at the Club today. As previously advertised, this year the teams are not based on the WPA League teams but on six new teams drawn at random with some seeding taking place. The object was to try to create more balanced teams (whether or not we succeeded remains to be seen) to give our non-League players the opportunity to play in competitive matches. As there were 39 entries it was decided before the draw took place that teams 1, 3 & 5 would have 7 players in their squad.
Matches will commence on Tuesday 3 October 2023 for 5 weeks and then, after a mid-winter break, will recommence on Tuesday 20 February 2024 for a further 5 weeks.
Full details of the basis of the draw, the full fixture list, and rules will be on the Super League page as soon as it can all be put together. Contact details for the team members will be sent to team captains.
In the meantime, team Captains are required for Mavericks, Mustangs, Mercenaries and Meerkats (see below for the teams). Without a captain the team cannot function. It is not a very onerous task. Please could someone from each of these teams volunteer to captain the team as soon as possible. Let us know if you are willing volunteer via the club WhatsApp group or by email to treasurer [at] monkstonepetanque [dot] org.
