Summer League 2018, Sponsored by Murdo’s, Cairncry Road (Main Sponsor), Aberdeen, Saltoun Arms, Aberdeen and White Horse Bar, Aberdeen.

Before anything, I would like to Thank David Mcnair at Murdo's, Angie Hewitt at Saltoun Arms and Colin Farquhar at White Horse for their continued support of the Summer League, which is my biggest and most ambitious to date.

Entry Fee will remain at £25.00 per Team this year and Teams can register on SUNDAY 3RD JUNE FROM 2PM TO 8PM AT SALTOUN ARMS, THE DRAW WILL TAKE PLACE SHORTLY AFTER.

Info:

The 2018 Summer League will begin on 12th June 2018, and will run until the beginning of September. The format will be a group phase, where teams play each other home and away. Based on 4 groups, the top two from each group will qualify for the knockout stages with the 3rd and 4th placed team in each group qualifying for the consolation cup knockout stage.

For The first time in 2018, just about all teams will have the chance to win a cash prize, with the introduction of the “Wooden Spoon Cup�, Sponsored by White Horse, exact format will be confirmed once final entries are known.

The Saltoun Cup (Thursday Cup) will also return this year, played amongst all the teams who enter the Summer League. A choice will be given on the registration form whether teams want to “Opt In� or “Opt Out� of the this cup which will be played on Thursdays. A Separate Trophy and Prize Fund (Minimum £150) will be allocated for this competition.

This year, I am also running One Summer League Singles, and One Summer League Doubles Competition at Riley's, which will be open to all players who are signed for a Summer League team ONLY, the entry cost for the singles competition will be £5.00 per player, with Doubles at £10.00 per pair and all money taken in will be paid out in the prize fund on the day.
