This season the Entry Fee is £50 for each U15 and U18 team entered (e.g. 1 x U15 + 1 x U18 = £100) and Free for U12. The invititation letter and entry form have been emailed to all clubs in Hertfordshire, plus previous entrants from outside the county, in the next few days. 

***If you have not had an invitation already and are interested in taking part PLEASE contact Peter Mccullough as soon as possible!***
