Just when you think that the Sills & Betteridge Lincolnshire League could not get any worse (well, you probably could!), Heckington United have, yesterday, become the 3rd team to leave the League since the start of the season - and that with only 3 games to go! Another points re-calculation should be forthcoming (hopefully by the end of this week!) and who knows who will be League leaders - Hykeham, Skeggy Town, our Reserves or even the League Committee's apparent "model club", Gainsborough Town? Just hope that BUFC Reserves seriously consider their option to continue in this appalling competition next season. Weak match officials, a Committee which appears to fail in its duty to sufficiently punish offending sides and a fixture list which cannot be relied upon are all good reasons to leave this League at its AGM. It is ironic that this League is sponsored by a firm of solicitors as it is quite noticeable that little justice is being shown to the majority of its Clubs who have competed in the spirit of the game, for this season at least.
