13 Oct 2025: Changes to website
There
has been some reorganisation of this website: the Matches section has been
renamed "League" and now consists of: League fixtures; Borders
Individual results; games pages; and general news about
the League. The games section has been taken down, with the games now
being in the League section. There are other changes too, but these are
generally behind the scenes. It is hoped that this will provide a more
logical structure to the site.
