The combining of men’s and women’s soccer under the LCFA banner for season 2021 has triggered the league decision, which Millicent United Soccer Club has op- posed due to its reliance on females to fill its men’s teams. Club co-president Ian Lines, pictured alongside co-president Stuart Nuske and member Caroline Dower, will call on his peers to help overturn the ruling at a presi- dents’ meeting on Tuesday. STORY BACK PAGE Snapped up THE South East commercial snapper fishery has closed after 100pc of the commercial snapper quota has been caught. The commercial closure follows the early closure of the South East recreational fishing season on March 10. Anglers can still participate in snapper fish- ing over the Easter long weekend, with charter boats still able to operate in the South East.
