The minimum number of players for a division 3 match is 5 but please aim for more. 

2 teams will be promoted/relegated at the end of the season based on position in the league (In exceptional circumstances less teams maybe relegated to reorganise the division, (if a team withdraws, for example).

R4 - 4 MARCH

R5 - 1 APRIL
