Start of Season Tournament
We started the 2022/23 season with a charity tournament. This year it was in memory of Sue Ward, a former player, umpire, committee member and in recent years, taking charge of the score table at our tournaments. Sue died in April this year, and the charity chosen by the family to benefit from the event is The Royal British Legion. Sue and her parents had supported the charity for many years, so it was a fitting tribute.
We had a good afternoon with 17 of our 19 teams taking part. The final was between St. Albans Open and new to the league team, Wodson Park Pearls. It was a hard fought final, with St. Albans Open taking the trophy, winning by one goal!’

End of Season Tournament
Our end of season tournament took place on 23rd April. This was the first time we had been able to hold this event since 2017, due to Covid in 2020 and 2021 and bad weather in 2018 and 2019; fortunately the weather held this year. The winning team was Breakspear Red who also came out on top as the winning team in Division 1.
Division 2 winning team St. Albans Shots will be promoted to Division 2 next season, along with runner up Scooters.

Feed Food Bank
Diane and Helen visited ‘Feed’ Food Bank, to deliver food and money generously donated by our members at our Charity Versatility Tournament. Pictures show the room where guests are given a meal, the shop where food donations are displayed and handing over a cheque for £1,000.00 to Yvonne. They were delighted and very grateful to St. Albans League members, and asked us to pass on their thanks
Beginning of Season Tournament
We started the 2021/22 season in glorious sunshine on 11th September, with our annual Charity Versatility Tournament. Of course we were unable to hold this event last year, so it was great to be able to raise money for a charity again, and have fun at the same time.
This year our chosen charity was a local food bank, and as usual all teams were amazing and donated a mountain of food items, as well as cakes for sale and raffle prizes. We had less teams this year, but still managed to raise a fantastic £654 on the day, and with some donations and a top up from league funds, we will be presenting the charity with £1,000 as well as the food items.
Congratulations to the two teams who made it to the final, Watford Premier 1 and St. Albans Shots, with Watford as the eventual winner at the end of a great afternoon.

LEAGUE END OF SEASON TOURNAMENTOur end of season tournament on the 22nd April was once again a charity event.
This year, the league voted to support SNAP (Special Needs Activity & Play, part of St. Albans Mencap), and Breast Cancer Care. We had a raffle and a cake stall for which every team brought cakes and donated a raffle prize; a ‘Guess the number of goals scored during the tournament’ (the prize was a netball); every player paid £2 to take part. One of our members managed to get a genuine Tottenham Hotspur No. 10 shirt signed by Harry Kane, for which we invited bids. It was a very successful afternoon and we raised £1,220 to be divided between the two charities. The final was very closely fought between Breakspear Reds and Jets, with Breakspear finishing as winners. |
