Amendment to contacts page

Due to a security concern, the mechanism we use to protect Team Captain contact information on the site has been updated.

No known data breach has occurred, but a report was received that the contact details were visible to a Team Captain without re-entering the new season password.

We believe that the circumstances surrounding this were due to the page having been visited before, but it was outside the expected time limit for remaining unlocked. Multiple tests were carried out and we verified the use of the password was required to access the data, and the issue was down to how the unlocked state persisted for this user.

Whilst the system remained secure we decided to implement changes to reduce the risk of the unlocked state persisting beyond an acceptable level to authorised users.

You will now find a link on the Contacts page that loads the secure contact page separately. This page is protected by the same password previously provided and expires automatically at the end of the season.

Once you have entered a valid password it will remain unlocked for around an hour after you last visited the page before locking with the password again. We are aware that for browsers like Edge, Chrome and Firefox, it is possible to close and re-open the browser and the unlocked state to remain. These changes should help enforce the time out.

There are still additional levels of protection in place to protect against repeated attempts to find the password, as well as all data being encrypted between our server, and your browser, as well as encrypted in backups and strict secure logons for admins with 2nd factor verification.

We will continue to monitor the situation and make any further necessary changes to ensure data is secure.

If anyone has any questions or concerns, please do get in touch via the contact form. We take the protection of data seriously.

Welcome

Welcome to the start of the 2023/2024 Season!

Unfortunately, both Liz and myself tried contacting the Wicor Mill several times and were not successful so they will not be joining us as intended, so we are staying with 9 teams and a bye each week.

The colourful fixture list can be printed out from the Documents page.

Good luck to you all, enjoy your games.

ps apologies for the lateness, life takes over the fun stuff unfortunately!

As a possible extra feature for the future I have been entering every game result from this season to collect player stats. It is a work in progress but for this season the table of results can now be seen live on the player stats page. The page is split between 180s. high shot outs, singles wins, and doubles wins. I am working on a way of collating all this in a fair points system to find the overall best player of the season.

Joan Malster Cup / Plate

Congratulations to the winners of the Cup ” Barleycorn” and the Plate “Q Battery”. Was a great turnout with many supporters. Thank you to the DOC ‘A’ and DOC ‘B’ for hosting and providing the refreshments and thank you to everyone for putting up with the bar difficulties during the clubs refurbishments.

Joan Malster Cup And Plate Final

Well done to those reaching the finals which will both be held at the DOC club. Plate will be hosted by the DOC B and the Cup will be hosted by DOC A.

Just so you are aware there is a bar refurb in progress at the moment so to be served you will need to go round the other bar but other than that all remains the same.

Joan Malster Cup

Apologies for the lateness of this post. The draw was done by Rose Mondey and Ellie Gostick (DOC B) on 30th March for the preliminary round and Quarter Finals of the cup. Good luck everyone.
