 CC26 League Results

The minimum number of players for a division 5 match is 4 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).

R1 - 10 DECEMBER 

R2 - 7 JANUARY

R3 - 4 FEBRUARY

R4 - 4 MARCH

R5 - 1 APRIL

R6 - 29 APRIL

R7 - 27 MAY
