Winter League
The number of entries for the 2024 Winter Cup competition continues to grow and is now a record 138. The deadline for individual bowlers from Division 6 teams has passed and we have 32 entries who will line up next Thursday (15 February) at Lockwood Park RUFC for the right to progress through to the Round of the Last 24. Four qualifiers will come through from next Thursday's knock-out stage.
The next deadline is for the Division 3 bowlers with only 10 entries in advance of Monday's deadline. Seems that bowlers have been put off by the inclusion of top two teams bowlers but don't forget that they could be drawn against each other and there is also the +3 handicap figure to factor in for all the non-County / Inter-District bowlers which come into play for this qualifying round.
The full list of 32 Division 6 entries is below and the draw will be made on the day. Bowlers need to arrive at the green by 11.15am to ensure that they are in the draw. Anyone who believes that they have entered from Division 6 but whose names are not listed below should get in touch now.
