From 2015 onwards, one person will be inducted annually, subject to suitable nominations and the result will be announced at the AGM each year. SLKPA members can be recognised for their achievements, service to the league or any remarkable or noteworthy action.
Each team can nominate one person per season and the League Committee will assess each nominee and elect one person per year into the Hall Of Fame at the AGM. Nominated players should have a disciplinary free record. Players cannot nominate themselves neither should they nominate their team mates. The inductee will receive the perennial Hall Of Fame plaque for a year as well as a personal award in addition to appearing on this hallowed page.
The captains will be given a form at the appropriate time for each team to deliberate who they should nominate, if they wish to nominate anyone at all. More details in depth can viewed on the nomination form. Additionally teams may nominate players via any usual communicational means and should always include a reason for the nomniation.
Team captains will be invited to nominate their team's choice via text once the nomination window has opened. Captains will be contacted by the League and offered the chance to nominate someone they feel worthy should they so wish.
When the annual nomination window opens:
Team captains please consult your team and advise your Divisional Secretary of your nomination and reasons behind it.
You can use the form below and submit or text/WhatsApp/email
etc your choice.
