The schedule for phase 2 of the AASE League has been finalised following the completion of phase one prior to half term.
Stage one saw two pools of seven, a Northern Conference and a Southern Conference. The top four from each pool have gone into two mini pools, again North and South, and the bottom three into two other mini pools, also North and South.
Fixtures will take place on Wednesday 8th November, Wednesday 15th November, and Wednesday 22nd November. The winners of the North Pool Division 1 and South Pool Division 1 will meet at Allianz Park on Wednesday 6th December for the AASE Final.
