Division One of the Rotherham Midweek League has been left with only five sides after South Yorkshire Lions, Wickersley and Rotherham Royals decided they would not be entering due to lack of commitment from players.

League secretary Ian Patterson is urging prospective teams to come forward.

Any team wishing to join or wanting more information is asked to contact Ian on 07986 555307 or 01709 305575.
