Therefore any subject matter - as long as it complies with two simple conditions: 1). it's WHUFC-related and 2). not likely to result in litigious action against us - is acceptable for submission purposes.

Match Reports

750-800 words minimum required.

All match report submissions must include player ratings (a mark out of 10) and brief match notes (50 words maximum) for each WHU player, including substitutes*.

Please send all submissons/questions to editor @ kumb.com (removing the spaces first!)
