Players required for Windsor/Maidenhead

It looks as if I may be short of a couple of players for Ashfield at Windsor/Maidenhead on Nov 9th-10th. I have put some feelers out but to date nothing definite unfortunately. A clash with the U160 Notts v Derbyshire match & the Beacon Seniors has not helped matters. Anyone interested should contact me via message facility here. To avoid being snowed under with applications from GMs and IMs, I am looking for normal club standard players interested in Division Four South!

It's only an indirect clash with the Beacon Seniors as that finishes Friday morning. The 4NCL weekend does however clash with Torquay, but that clash happens nearly every year.

One of my registered players is at the Torquay weekend - that's why he's unavailable.

Have you contacted Nottinghamshire Juniors, who may have a player or two for you who might want to play?

Just as an aside, since I'm a local. I suppose the hotel is called Windsor/ Maidenhead on the basis a lot of people visit Windsor and the hotel chain hope some of them will stay in their hotel in outskirts of Maidenhead.

It is only a short trip from Maidenhead to Windsor. But the parking is a nightmare. So if you were looking for a restaurant outside Maidenhead and weren't too fussed about seeing a castle, I'd go to Marlow instead.

I'd suspected as much but thanks for the advice.

Quick update on this. Firstly thanks to the people who responded. One player only now required for Sunday.
