WHICH BALLPARK WILL YOU PLAY YOUR HOME LEAGUE GAMES AT?
Herts has two ballparks. The online registration form will ask players to indicate whether they prefer to play their home league games in Hemel Hempstead or in NW London, or whether they would be happy with either. This will provide important information to club management when they configure the adult and youth team rosters for the new season.
