Two parks, alternating
Every game is played at Lakewood Ranch Park or Braden River Park, with the schedule marking each fixture LWR or BR so a player knows which one before he leaves.
Two grounds a fortnight apart in the same county is the sensible arrangement for a four-club Wednesday league, and marking the ground on every single line is what makes it work. No street address or map is published for either. High Cheese ties the ballpark, the address and the map to the fixture itself, so a walk-up who has never been to Braden River can find it.
