Notes:

(a) If teams agree to re-arrange a game then please contact Ipswich Sports Club (tel 01473 251143) to book an alternative pitch slot. All rearranged games must be played on or before 18th July 2008. There is a free slot at Henley Road on Monday and Wednesday every week. Felixstowe HC have also indicated that they would like to play some of their games on their new pitch - if their opposition are happy to do so. This may enable some later start times.  

(b) Where games are rearranged please inform the Summer League co-ordinator of the re-arranged date (see contact details at 9 above) before the original date of the game. The onus is on the two clubs to agree changes - otherwise the times as printed here will stand.
