League News
All the Huddersfield area leagues have now either published their fixture programmes on their respective Bowlsnet site or published their starting dates and that includes the Huddersfield Saturday League. The neutral greens have still to be added but the start date is now known as Saturday 12 April with the 2.00pm start time except for the Binns Cup competition.
The Subscription Cup is now an 11-team competition after dropping down to 9 teams last season with the total number of 10-man teams up one to 46 for the coming season. It is a staggered start as the Binns Cup matches don't start until Saturday 3 May and with a shuffle of teams the Taylor Cup has disappeared altogether.
Last year the 8-man leagues forming the Binns Cup and Taylor Cup competitions had 9 teams in each and with two teams lost there is just one division this year, the Binns Cup. With 16 teams in it they will play each other just once so a 15-match season. Hence the later start date and the season is due to finish by the end of August.
