FOR INFORMATON

The Veterans section of the League have recently voted on an amendment to the rules allowing for the number of players playing twice in the SECOND DIVISION ONLY .

The amendment was to allow up to 4 (FOUR) players who can play twice.

The result of the vote

FOR 8 AGAINST 4 With Two clubs not voting.

To avoid confusion the rule for the Second Division is now :>-

12. There shall be 7 (Seven) points awarded per match. One (1) point for each individual winner (Four points), 1 point for each doubles winner 3 (three), with 2 (two) points to the team winning the aggregate score. In the event of a tie on aggregate each team will receive 1 (one) point in addition to the individual game points won by the team.

(12.1) Playing twice in the same fixture, ie playing singles and double games. For each player that plays twice in a match, 6 (six) chalks will be deducted from that teams aggregate total. The maximum number of players who can play twice is 4 (Four).

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart, that we announce the passing of Jeff Jones on Wednesday 25th March 2026, aged 69. Jeff played for many clubs in the Oswestry league throughout his 50 plus years of bowling, and made so many friends on the bowls circuit. Plas Kynaston, Flexsys, Rhos, Ifton, Ruabon, Ponciau park, Chirk and Johnstown all benefitted from having Jeff at their club. He always went out of his way to help new bowlers, especially youngsters, giving advice and guidance on how to play the game. His personality around the greens will be sorely missed. Our thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to Jeff's family and friends. Rest in peace Jeff
