Season 2024-2025
Update .. w/c 10th February
Thursday night's result from the rearranged match between Sileby Workos and Syston Social has left just Syston Cons B as the only challenger to leaders Wymeswold Cons .. Sileby's 3-1 victory leaves Wymeswold requiring just two points from their final two games to secure the title .. the win lifted Sileby off the bottom and into sixth place .. this week, the Melton Times has published an article which looks at the recent history of the League and the struggle to uphold its traditions particularly post-Covid .. needless to say, if you know anyone that you think might be interested in either rejoining the League or even putting a new team together you'll find the relevant contact details within the article .. full results and match reports can be found on the Weekly Results page.

Team Registration and Subs - 2024-25 Season
We still await confirmation that the final outstanding subscription for this season has been received .. thanks to all teams for their co-operation in this matter .. with reduced income from losing teams over the Summer these monies are vital to the financial wellbeing of the League and its continued existence.
Auditing of the Accounts
Treasurer, Mike James, has asked me to enquire if there is anyone out there among the skittles community that is both capable and willing to audit the accounts for the last season .. whilst not necessarily a legal requirement, we do like to keep things transparent and in order for both the current and future administrative officers of the League ... please contact a committee member if you are able to help in this matter.

Chairman, Syston & District Skittle League
Please see below a copy of a letter we have received from LOROS and two Donation Certificates - thanks to everyone !
