Ok following Dan's unavoidable withdrawal and the complete failure of 3/4's of Group D to send in their entries this week a couple of changes have been made to the qualifying groups and potentially who will qualify.
Firstly Andy Base has had his team moved to Group B to replace Dan's team.
The files for the first 3 games in Group B for Andy have been sent to Glynn and the match files will be sent out and the tables updated accordingly when Glynn sends them back to myself.
Because of this, this leaves Group D with just 3 managers, all of whom failed to get their entries in. Consequently only the top team from this group will qualify for the next stage and
ONLY if the remaining matches in this group are played on time.
If Group D fulfil their fixtures the third placed team with the best record from Groups A,B and C will join the top 2 from these groups and the Group D winners in the quarter finals.
However, if Group D fail to complete any of their remaining matches then that group will be removed from the competition and the next best third placed team will take their place in the quarters.
I am sorry to have to be so harsh but with all other managers completing within the time limits I don't want any managers ruining it for everyone else.
The fixtures are up for the coming week and the deadline for entries as usual is next friday at midday. All entries must still be sent to
