Winter League
Review of the Winter League Division 3 matches played on Monday 9 October
Milnsbridge B scored a second successive 8-0 win in their Division 3 match this Monday to head the early table with the maximum 16 points. In second place sit Marsh United who had a good 6-2 win over Hanging Heaton who were playing their first match of the season. This produced some excellent bowling and the Fantasy League punters look to be right in selecting these as two top teams this season. The Marsh pairs fighting back from 2-10 down to win to 19 being of special note.
Primrose Hill Lib continue to prove to be the most generous of hosts by conceding 8 points to their opponents for a second week to Dalton's benefit whilst Thorpe Green B survived a 1-21 pairs defeat to share the points 4-4 with Lindley Lib B.
We are always striving to make the bowler experience on matchdays better and one area that we can improve on is measuring. If every team brought a measure each week and responded whenever any match called for the tape that would reduce the wait that can materialise. This becomes more important as the season progresses and the weather becomes colder and wetter. Anything that reduces the time that bowers are standing around waiting for someone to respond to a measure call has to be beneficial to all. It doesn't matter if it isn't your team that is involved. If the call goes out near where you are stood offer your services and keep the matches and bowlers moving. Thanks.
Divisions 3 and 6 are both up and running with the other four divisions due to start their 2023-24 seasons over the next two weeks. The reason for the staggered start is that each host club determines the start date based on what maintenance work they have scheduled following the end of the summer seasons. The start dates for the remaining four divisions are:
Division 1 (Milnsbridge BC) - Wednesday 25 October
Division 2 (Springwood) - Wednesday 25 October
Division 4 (Lindley Lib) - Monday 16 October
Division 5 (Netherton Con) - Thursday 19 October
