IMPORTANT NOTE - Council Owned Pitches
Published April 15th
Newcastle City Council have advised that they intend to re-seed / sand ALL council owned pitches from Monday 12th May. Therefore any pitches under their control will NOT be available after Sunday 11th May. Please make sure those clubs who may be affected take this account as there will be no movement from the council on this matter!
This is completely out of the control of the NABC League and we have no influence over this decision, therefore we will not enter into any communications about this matter.

(i) The fixture list is official notice of the match to both clubs. Home Team Secretaries must confirm the match
with their opponents by the Tuesday before the date of the game, also confirming venue and colours.
