Winter League
There are a few husband and wife teams playing in the Winter League and one of those sees the two of them progress to the Last 20 in the Winter Cup competition. Brockholes 'A' teammates Elaine and Michael Bell both won three games to become half of the final quartet from the Thorpe Green Qualifying Round played on Monday.
Two other husband and wife teams were also in the Thorpe Green leg of the competition but only one individual managed to progress through to the Last 20 stage and that was Margaret Pointon who now has bragging rights over husband Mike. Home bowler, Nigel Kaine, makes up the four Thorpe Green qualifiers. All matches were 15-Up due to the high number of entries and that was a wise decision as even with those reduced targets it still took almost 4 hours to complete the full round of matches.
The last four all progress to the next stage where the 20 qualifiers from all 5 Divisions will compete for a place at 1.00pm on Wednesday 12 April in the Quarter-Finals at Springwood. The 8 survivors from that episode will progress to Finals Day again at Springwood on Sunday 16 April with a 1.00pm start.
Handicaps come into play from the Round of the Last 20 on 12 April when handicaps come into play. Well done to all four and I hope that the draw is kind to the Bell duo by keeping them apart in the next round so avoiding any family conflict. The full results from the qualifying day are below.
