Longdendale League registrations are being updated before the start of the season. Some players may not appear on the site, though they are registered they will appear as they play. This is in an effort to make result input that much easier - this applies especially to those clubs with more than one team in the league.
For those who wish to input their own result - If a player doesnt appear in the drop down menu - you can add him / her on the 'New Player' tab.
