Winter League
It is the turn of the Division 6 bowlers to push their claims for inclusion in the Round of the Last 16 of the new Pairs KO competition. We have 18 entries (36 bowlers) from Division 6 teams and they are all listed below. Two of 18 pairs will qualify for the later stages with 16 pairs left competing for the chance to be the first holders of the new Robert Hitchen Cup.
We are very hopeful that the weather will turn as forecast to enable the bowling to resume. The Division 6 Qualifying Round is scheduled to take place at Thorpe Green on Friday starting at 11.00am. Bowlers are asked to be at the green no later than 10.45am to enable the draw to take place and enable a prompt 11.00am start time. The 18 pairs entered to date are:
All the remaining Qualifying Round matchdays and closing dates are listed below in date order with an Entry Form at the foot of this posting.
