MERCIAN Fortis Junior Football League organisers are looking for new teams.

The growing competition particularly needs sides at boys' under 14s and 16s level and girls' under 10s and 12s.

Secretary and vice-chairman Ray Wright said: "Due to the league's popularity we have already received over 175 team applications for next season but there is still room for more teams.

"It’s a major task getting things sorted and fixtures organised so we’re trying to get teams that want to be in the league for next season to get in touch with us as soon as possible so we don’t disappoint anyone.”

Interested clubs are asked to email ra.wright@btinternet.com.
