Winter League

The closing date for new teams for the Huddersfield Winter League is almost upon us with this Wednesday (1 September) the deadline for applications for new teams for the 2021-22 season starting October. The Management Committee are meeting on Friday to finalise the composition of the three divisions so allowing the fixture programme to be put together.
Three greens are to be used during the new season, at Milnsbridge, Springwood and Thorpe Green and there are already 25 teams signed up for the new season an increase on the 14 that contested the COVID-affected opening season.
There is one more team application awaiting confirmation so when that is confirmed the number of teams will grow to 26 for the 2021-22 season. The current list of teams signed up for the new season is:
Paddock I&C
Lower Hopton
Lindley Liberal
Brockholes
New Mill
Jackson Bridge
Clayton West
Denby Dale
Dalton
Meltham
Milnsbridge A & B teams
Rastrick A & B teams
Huddersfield Recreation Club A & B teams
Lowerhouses A & B teams
Thorpe Green A, B & C teams
Springwood A & B teams
Lindley BC A & B teams
Bowlers can be male or female in any combination of numbers but all bowlers must have passed their 60th birthday before bowling in the league. All teams are of 4-persons with 2 Singles and 1 Pairs games in each match.
Three Divisions will be based on different greens for the full season and the split of teams will be decided on merit with promotion and relegation at the end of the season. It is expected that matches will be played on the same day each week and if that is to be a Monday or a Wednesday will be determined by several factors especially around freeing up host teams to provide catering and other services to their visiting teams.
The closing date for new team applications is now 1st September. If you are interested in adding a team to the League which recommences in October then please get in touch for further details. Contact Us
