Rather than being a traditional weekly home-and-away league, VUL teams all meet in one location once per month and play 2-3 rounds of the league on a single day. Heads of State are entering teams in the Open and Women s divisions, and we are looking for players who are interested in taking part. VUL has restrictions on player experience, so this is the perfect competition for anyone looking to play competitively for the first time! Please note this is separate to the national s season.
