Over-70s KO starts on Friday

Veterans League

The opening round of the Veterans League Over-70's competition will take place on two greens this Friday. The greens at Kirkheaton C&BC and Netherton Con come into play with 12 entrants at each bowling down to four at each green. Those 8 will progress through to the quarter-finals to be played at Lockwood Con on Thursday 12 June.

The matches this Friday start at 1.30pm with a further reduction in numbers compared with last year when there were 28 entries now down to 24 in total. Neither of last season's two finalists are in the 24 entrants with Mick Cox and Tim Poulter both absent .
