Veterans League
We are down to the Last 16 in the Veterans 6-Man League only team KO competition this Thursday. Eight of the last 16 teams left in the competition are Division 1 teams and four of those eight feature in two all-Division 1 team clashes in the Round of the Last 16 which is shown below along with the neutral greens to be used.
One of those all-Division 1 clashes pitches the reigning Champions, Netherton Con, against Brockholes A at Longwood. The two teams faced each other in a League match on Monday when the Brockholes team ran out 5-2 home victors. However on a neutral green and the unique 3-Pairs format it is likely to be a very different coming-together. The other all-Division 1 confrontation sees top-three teams Skel Windmill A and Waterloo facing each other with both teams on good winning runs in the League and both playing off scratch.
All teams are handicapped based on their 2023 final placings in the League and the biggest handicap difference sees 2nd in Division 1 Marsh United A taking on the Division 3 leaders Brockholes B. The Division 1 side start off scratch and have to find a difference of 14 from the three-pairs matches to get around a difficult-looking encounter for both teams.
Results are based on aggregate totals from the three games with the number of matches won only coming into play should the aggregate totals fail to separate the two teams.
ROUND OF THE LAST 16 To be played on Thursday 6 June on neutral greens
