It is with a heavy heart that we inform our members of the passing of our League Secretary Peter Hargreaves
Peter was with his loved ones at home this week receiving Hospice at Home Care
It is hoped that a celebration of his life will be held when restrictions allow.

The East Lancs League wish all teams, players, officials and supporters all the best for Christmas and new year.
May we all have a good break, returning happy, healthy and joyus for the second half of the season refreshed and raring to go!
All the best and a Merry Christmas.
The plan is to start 30th Jan and the idea is for all teams to get a chance of silverware with the 2 cups to play for.
Good luck to all and thanks for your understanding, we are all doing our best under the strangest of circumstances !
Stay safe and let’s get back playing ASAP
Absolutely heartbreaking for a club that has done so much to their facilities recently. Hope you find out who is responsible and some form of justice can come from it !
