Sexual Assault and Domestic Abuse are serious issues. Im not up on the details but from what bit I read I hope it can all be resolved professionally and justice served.
U16. Lower Silver/Bronze is 8v8. I was not going to enter to play high Silver/Gold. Yes in the tournament league I will probably play a gold team here and there but the Silver teams are usually closer to my level.
Looking forward to it.
