With over 60 years in existence, the MJSL continues to provide football for the community. So many other leagues around the country have folded or merged, and I would hope that the future is preserved with such improvements as this communication channel.

The website itself is no longer the new innovation but the norm as we move forward with technology. In its infancy there were many upgrades and we seek to improve it all the time. First and foremost, it is there to act as an information service and then will hopefully become more interactive.. A gallery became available 2 seasons ago as well as the Junior section being integrated. All contact in connection with website must be through myself on 07734 658418.

The new season is due to start on Sunday 30th August with probably a single Joan Collins Premier Division. Republic of Mancunia joined the ranks last season and Broughton Park are due to join in this time around. So the Feldman Trophy will be as usual the Cup for all teams, the Cohen and Shonn Trophies will be up for grabs as well. Leeds and South Manchester Maccabi have new secretaries.

Either in March or May we will see the Mike Samberg 7-a-side Trophy which has proved successful over recent years giving all teams a chance of glory (weather permitting). All MJSL teams are invited to enter the National Trophy. I wish everybody connected with the MJSL every success over the 2009-10 season. 

Many thanks
