WHAT’S NEW on the site?

Only the real additions are noted here. Minor roadworks go on all the time. If the date on the front page suggests an update not mentioned here, it will be an odd new result (in, say, the National Club or ECF Schools or ECF Counties National Stage) which does not involve SCCU people. The Links page was last updated 4.6.07. The Ragbag gets added to any old how, but last changed 12.5.07.
