Lindley Lib on a roll & Skel Derby

Winter League

Preview of the Monday fixtures in Divisions 4 and 10

LINDLEY LIB C are in pole position in Division 4 and they will be looking for a third consecutive win of the season as they take on a Mirfield CBC A side who sit in fourth spot in the early season league table. The Lindley side have started the season well with two 8-0 wins to their name and face a Mirfield side who have a 50 percent record after two rounds. 

Milnsbridge B are Lindley’s nearest challengers and whilst they are unbeaten they have a win and a draw to their name. They face a Lindley BC side who have six points but have still to record their first win of the season. 

Springwood A are also looking for their first win of the season and face a Linthwaite Hall side who are just one place above them in the league table. The Linthwaite side tasted victory for the first time last week when defeating Lindley BC.

The third side looking for their first win of the season are Netherton Con A who look to have a tough game on their hands against third-placed Rastrick A. The Rastrick side are, like the majority in the division, already unable to claim a 100 percent record. But they are still unbeaten and will be looking to keep that record going on Monday.

SKELMANTHORPE Central may only be the host green for Division 10 but my word they could well have the match of the day on Monday. Central’s A and B teams are at the top of the Division 10 table, both are unbeaten and they are in direct competition as the week’s Winter League bowling gets well underway. The A team have a two-point lead following their 8-0 success over Almondbury BC C a week ago, those points took their tally to 20 after the first three league games. Two points in a arrears are Central’s B team who have been consistent with three 6-2 wins to their name.

To whet the appetite further there’s an inter club clash between Brockhole’s D and E teams with the third-placed D side looking to have the edge over their clubmates in the E side who have just one win to their name. 

Brockhole’s third team in the division, their C team take on Holmfirth B, both sit in mid-table having collected 12 league points each. After a winning start to the season the Holmfirth outfit are looking to end a two-match losing run. 

Finally, there’s a chance for Marsh Lib C and Almondbury BC C to pick up their first win of the season as they meet. Both are at the foot of the table the Marsh Lib side being four league points above the Almondbury outfit
