With nearly 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 a relatively new innovation as we move with modern day technology. In its infancy there will be many upgrades as better and more information can get displayed. It is there to act as an information service initially and as time moves forward, will hopefully become more interactive.. A gallery should be available by the end of November 07 as well as enhanced viewing. All contact in connection with website must be through myself on 07734 658418.

The new season started on Sunday 9th September with the format the same as last season with 2 divisions, the Feldman Trophy being the Cup for all teams. Broughton dropped out but replaced at the eleventh hour by a Crumpsall 2nd team. Oakhill have a new Secretary and FC KD have changed their name to Sporting JLGB and have a new team of officials running the operation.

The Feldman Trophy will be our "FA Cup" as normal, the Fay and Henry Shonn Trophy will be for the Premier teams with preliminary rounds for the Division 1 teams whilst the Tony Cohen Memorial will be solely for Division One. In March 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 were invited to enter the National Trophy. I wish everybody connected with the MJSL every success over the 2007-08 season. 

Many thanks
