Resignation of Kingstonians

With regret, owing mainly to a severe lack of availability of previously regular members, Kingstonians have confirmed their resignation from the League which has reluctantly been accepted, especially at this late stage of the season.

Dave McGuire has been thanked for good support over the years. Don spoke with Dave Swan (provider of players)down at the Over 60's game in Derbyshire yesterday and he confirmed the decision.

This means that the points record for the season will be expunged, i.e. all
the teams who have won points from Kingstonians will lose those points.
