Resignation - Beaumont Town 2009

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With just 2 games remaining, including a fixture scheduled for tonight, Beaumont Town 2009 have resigned from the League with immediate effect.

Their playing record will be expunged and the Division 2 table adjusted to reflect this.

Unfortunately this has a critical effect on the Division, as Kirby Muxloe Rangers, who have been acclaimed as Division 2 Champions can now be caught and overtaken.

The revised position.including tonight's result, subject to confirmation is

1 Kirby Muxloe Rangers 21 18 0 3 84 39 +45 54
2 Great Wigston 20 15 3 2 100 35 +65 48

The added twist is that Kirby's remaining game is v Great Wigston on Sunday. Great Wigston also have Fengate to play. In summary, Kirby now need to take a point on Sunday to win the League, whereas Great Wigston must win both games.

Both teams have been made aware of the situation.

Quite frankly, I am appalled at the decision of Beaumont Town 2009 which has created this issue, and caused such a deeply disappointing and frustrating position not only for the League Management Committee, but particularly for Kirby Muxloe Rangers.
