The final matches of the 2021/2022 were completed this afternoon as the focus moved to the bottom of the table, Corfe Castle will finish bottom of the table after their 5-2 defeat at Shaftesbury Reserves, Wareham Rangers picked up a point after their 2-2 draw in West Dorset at Bridport Res and finish in 17th place, and now await the FA’s decision as to who gets promoted to Step 6. Sherborne Town Reserves hit Poole Borough for 6 at Raleigh Grove in their 6-3vwin, meanwhile Westland Sports made the long trip into the purse is to play Swanage T&H and the trip back will be much sweeter after a 3-1 win.

To All Club Secretaries:
Having reviewed what was said at the recent AGM, please can I confirm that the club secretaries should register their players on the Whole Game System. At the same time the player registration form(s) should either be scanned across to me or a hard copy be posted to me so that I can complete the registration process.
Please excuse the confusion by comment at the AGM.
