COVID-19 : AGM & 2021 Avalon League

 

As things stand at present in the UK with the virus, it will not be feasible to hold an AGM in November.

The immediate consequence of this is regarding the 2021 fixtures. At this stage we ask all team captains to arrange their 2021 fixtures as far as possible replicating those arranged for 2020. When you have them available will you please submit them on the Avalon Results email address.

The 8 divisions for the main league and the. 2 divisions for the seniors league will remain the same for 2021 as were planned for 2020.

The intention at present is to review the status in the UK and the West Country of COVID-19 during February to provide guidance for all teams before any fixtures will be played next year.

Important Notice

 

Division 1 – Vivary Park A Team Withdrawal

 

As many will know, the Vivary A team has had difficulty this season in fielding a regular team owing to some changes at their Club.   

We confirm, therefore, that the Vivary Chairman has informed us that the A team is withdrawing from Division 1 with immediate effect.  

Vivary conveyed their apologies to the other teams in the division for the disruption created this season and wished everyone the best for the rest of the season.

Consequently, the League precedent has been set in the past when a team has withdrawn from the League in mid season.  

All fixtures involving Vivary this season will be removed from the results and the remaining 5 teams will play between them for the Division 1 Championship this season.   

 

The League tables and results have been updated to represent this position.
