Mary Matthew’s, the Women’s League Convenor had this to add about the exciting return of the competition
As Convenor of the women’s competitions, I’m delighted that the women’s teams are back in the BNI cup competition this season.
The numbers of junior female participants in local league has grown this season which we hope will give growth to at least 2 more senior teams in the next 1-2 seasons .
