To maintain competitive competitions throughout the winter months, the IoMRA ask each club for their support for entries – the entry charges of £3 per comp are not vast and your support will enable the IoMRA to provide excellent prizes at the end of the season. Please forward your entry list to Barry as soon as possible during October.
