Mon 3rd Apr
Unfortunatley Hampden Bowling Club have had to withdraw their team from division 5. There will be minimal disruption to the fixtures, just a Bye for one team every week.
Fri 31st MarThe Rhyn B team, unfortunately, have had to drop out of division 5 due to lack of players.
Division 5 now has 12 teams, with the games starting the week after Easter. Revised fixtures are now available to view, there are quite a few changes to the original.
In the Vets Division 1, Cynwyd have had to drop their team out, also due to lack of players.
Vets division 1 now has 9 teams, so there is a bye for 1 team each week of the season
Rule 6.5 applies to both clubs and will be discussed at the next committee meeting
Thu 30th Mar
Alteration to rule 7.11.1 Playing twice, for division 4 & 5 only
As agreed at the 2023 AGM, the comittee have added the following paragraph to the existing rule:
Where a club has more than 1 team in the same division (4/5/6 only), and doesn't have a lower ranked team to pick from to help field a full team, both or all those teams can allow up to 2 players to play a second game.
The rules are in the process of being updated following the agreed amendments from the AGM
Wed 8th Mar
Email has sent to Club secretaries regarding the Division 5 late season fixtures. If captains of division 5 teams want me to email them directly please let me know.
Link to fixture secretary is above
Mon 6th MarOswestry league fixtures are now available to view
Division 1 to 4 start their games the week after Easter, Tuesday 11th and Wednesday 12th
For venues without floodlights the first 2 weeks' games start at 6:30
Division 5 has 13 teams so there are 26 weeks of fixtures. They start their games on Wednesday 5th or Thursday 6th April. All those games are at venues with floodlights so it's a 7 o'clock start for all. The next 2 weeks are 6:30 starts if there are no lights, the same as div 1 to 4.
More information regarding the extra late season fixtures in division 5 will be sent to those clubs in the next few weeks.
It's a long way off but the last 4 fixtures may have early starts as well, 6:30 for weeks 19/20 and 6:15 for the last 2 dates.
If captains agree to reverse fixtures or rearrange games to an earlier date, you need to let the fixture secretary know.
Mon 6th Mar
