Winter League
A preview of the four matches in Division 4 on Monday 13 November
The Division 3 fixtures at Primrose Hill Lib originally scheduled for this Monday have been rearranged for Monday 26 February 2024 as previously announced here. So today's weekly preview only looks at the Division 4 fixtures to be played at Lindley Lib with the usual 11.30am start time.
The top four teams in Division 4 are kept apart in this week's programme with the leaders New Mill B intending to retain their four-point advantage when they take on Lindley Lib C this Monday. Opening their inaugural season in the Winter League with four straight wins is an impressive start for the new boys. The Lindley Lib side will be keen to return to winning ways after their first defeat of the season last week.
The Thorpe Green team have used the joint lowest number of bowlers (5, which is the same as Netherton Con A) so far and that may have contributed to their good start to the season. They have an 8-points lead over the third-placed team and a match this week against Kirkheaton C&BC with the top two already opening up a gap over the chasing pack.
Almondbury BC A and Springwood B came down from Division 3 at the end of last season and both teams continue to struggle this time around with both occupying bottom three positions at present. This week the Almondbury team are looking for their first win of the season but will be pushed to do that when they take on third-placed Netherton Con A.
Springwood B have used more players (8) than any other team in this division so far and collected their first win of the new campaign last week and will hope to build on that when meeting Milnsbridge C this week who will be aiming to return to winning way after suffering their first defeat last time out.
