Winter League
The Winter League continues to attract new teams at all levels and the latest recruits come from the very top of the Veterans League. Golcar Lib are the reigning Champions and current leaders of the 2023 competition and they will join the League when it starts up in October.
New Mill have entered two new teams into the League for the 2023-24 season which means there are 11 new teams now signed up and takes the total in the League past the milestone 50 teams marker and up to 51 in total and there are still a few days for more teams to sign up.
The full list of the 11 new teams is: Golcar Lib, New Mill A, New Mill B, Outlane, Broad Oak, Thorpe Green D, Cowcliffe A, Cowcliffe B, Marsh United, Kirkheaton Con B and Lockwood Con B. There is still time to add to that total but only a few days to the final closing date of next Monday.
