Season 2024-2025
Update .. w/c 10th February
Leaders Wymeswold Cons seem intent on ensuring this season's title challenge will not go down to the wire again as they recorded their third maximum 4-0 in a row to pull well clear of their challengers ..with the outcome of Syston Social Club's match in hand yet to be decided it means Wymeswold need just two and a half points from their final two games to be certain of clinching a well deserved title .. Syston Cons B and Syston Social Club lost further ground on the leaders despite both posting 3-1 victories .. the two sides at the bottom, Queniborough Wanderers and Sileby Workos A, both secured 3-1 home wins to close the gap on the sides above them with just four points now separating fourth from tenth in the table .. full results and match reports can be found on the Weekly Results page.

Christmas Raffle
The Christmas Raffle did not take place this year following a perceived general sense of apathy to last year's event particularly when it came to prize donations .. the committee have not yet ruled out the possibility of an end of season raffle in some form which would take place at the annual Presentation Night .. feel free to debate this amongst yourselves over the coming months and provide feedback to any member of the committee.
Team Registration and Subs - 2024-25 Season
We still await confirmation that the final outstanding subscription for this season has been received .. thanks to all teams for their co-operation in this matter .. with reduced income from losing teams over the Summer these monies are vital to the financial wellbeing of the League and its continued existence.
Auditing of the Accounts
Treasurer, Mike James, has asked me to enquire if there is anyone out there among the skittles community that is both capable and willing to audit the accounts for the last season .. whilst not necessarily a legal requirement, we do like to keep things transparent and in order for both the current and future administrative officers of the League ... please contact a committee member if you are able to help in this matter.
