Winter League
This really is the last call for teams interested in entering the Huddersfield Winter League for the 2022-23 season which starts in October and runs right through to mid-February. The final deadline to submit an entry is 12noon on Wednesday 6 July.
Lockwood Con, Paddock I&C 'B' and Netherton Con 'B' are the latest new teams to join up for the coming season taking the total up to 13 new teams joining for the new season, so far! In addition, we can confirm that all 27 teams that played in the Winter League last season have signed up to continue membership for the 2022-23 season taking us up to 40 teams.
The new teams for the new season are Lockwood Con, Paddock I&C 'B', Kirkheaton C&BC, Marsh Lib, Huddersfield RUBC, Netherton Con 'A', Netherton Con 'B', Golcar C&BC, Brockholes 'B', Milnsbridge 'C', Springwood 'C', Lindley Lib 'B' and Almondbury BC 'B'. That means that we have 6 new clubs joining the League whilst 7 existing clubs extend their membership by adding more teams due to the high demand for playing time once bowlers have enjoyed their first experience of bowling during the winter months.
We have the capacity to take even more teams so this is an invitation to any teams interested in getting involved to get in touch now. You don't need to make your club green available for play as all matches will be played on our 5 host greens throughout the season. The League caters for all levels of bowling with County bowlers in our top division and first-season bowlers amongst our lower division teams. Ladies are as equally welcome as male bowlers, we don't differentiate at all.
A good starting point for anyone wanting to learn more about the Winter League and how it works is encouraged to read the posting entitled 'The Ultimate Guide to Winter Bowling'.
Any questions, information or details required should be directed to the League Secretary, Jeff Jacklin, and his contact details are below.
The League is now open to new team applications up until noon on Wednesday 6 July when registration will close and arrangements for the coming season can then begin. Applications should be made to the League Secretary by email at jefftheref2000@yahoo.co.uk or by using the Contact Us facility on this website or by phone to 07968 171 197.
