Sheffield Online League - Season 3

 

Entries, and indeed the first-round pairings, can now be seen on Sheffield LMS web pages.  There are again three divisions, with the composition of those divisions based on the previous season’s final placings, with the one promotion, and two new teams add where their strength seems to make it most appropriate.  Although there are two new teams, four of last season’s teams have dropped out, making a net reduction of 2 teams.
