Welcome!

The long-running Teesside Friendly League continues, despite the Covid-19 madness that dominates all our lives at the moment. I’m very proud to have been installed as league chairman and we have a new secretary (Mark Graham) and committee (Les Woolston, Fred Cornwell and Jeff Tate). Many thanks to all those that served on the previous committee, especially long-standing outgoing secretary Alan Humble.

The committee have only one real priority – keep this great league running despite the challenges we all face. The league will use this website for all ‘official’ communications (any postings on Facebook are unofficial, personal posts) and we aim to build up the content over time.

Many thanks to Dave Ramrekha and his company VIA Creative for their help and support with the league website. I’m also pleased to announce we have sponsorship from Molson Coors and that a number of individuals have sponsored 2020/21 trophies and various other prizes.

Congratulations to all those that participated in the 2019/2020 carry over individuals final’s nights. Considering many players had an enforced six month lay-off the standard was very high and the number of attendees shows the interest levels. Sadly, some people could not play due to Covid-19 and for that reason we can’t have a presentation night - but we will get prizes and trophies to all in the next few weeks. We are still awaiting the return of a few trophies that were won in the 2019/2020 season - once we have them we can engrave these, along with the winners from 2020.

Lastly let’s all have a great season, and don’t forget – it’s the Molson Coors Teesside FRIENDLY League.
