Winter League
Preview of the Division 8 fixtures lined up for Lockwood Cons on Tuesday 26 November
The Gocar C&BC team and results have been a real revelation this season, their third in the League. After two anonymous but enjoyable seasons seeing them finish in the bottom half of the bottom division they have set their stall out this year with a 5-match winning run to start hopes of some end-of-season silverware. This week's opponents are Linthwaite Hall B who are in their first season in the League, a team brought together at short notice to fill a late gap in the structure and still coming to terms with winter bowling.
The same can be said of Kirkheaton C&BC B who will do very well to rack up their first win when facing 2nd in the table Cowcliffe C. The Division 8 draw specialists, Holmfirth, are also looking for their first win in the League and a win against their Tuesday opponents, Broad Oak B, could see them swap places in the table with their rivals. However, the Broad Oak side has won 2 of its last 3 matches so are clearly on an upward path which they will be aiming to continue.
Lockwood Con C and Mirfield B are on the edge of the promotion race and face each other this week where home advantage may be enough to propel the homesters upwards.
