Veterans League
We have an inter-division clash in this year's Final of the Sub-Team KO when Division 3 leaders Linthwaite Hall take on Division 5 promotion candidates Marsh Lib at Broad Oak on Thursday 14 September.
Marsh Lib have punched above their weight to reach the final eliminating three teams from higher divisions en route. One of those being Division 3 side Lindley Lib 'B' who they lost to by 154-160 before the Lindley team were eliminated for playing an ineligible bowler. Linthwaite Hall have done well to reach the final in their first season back in the League and were almost put out of the competition in the opening round when sneaking through by 149-148 against Almondbury BC B.
Whatever the final outcome on Thursday there will be a new name added to the trophy as neither team has won this honour before. The format is the same as for league fixtures - 4 singles and 3 pairs - although the aggregate total determines the winner. The game count only comes into play if the aggregate totals are equal.
There is the usual 1.30pm start time and Marsh Lib have a 15-chalk start on their opponents with a handicap split of 25-40.
