LEAGUE HANDICAP
The following have qualified for the last 8 of the League Handicap to be played at West Derby Recs on Friday 13th June 2025 starting at 1p.m. R. Koo, M. Keatley, T. Tsang and T. Lunt from ASM, M. Shiels and R. Soloman from West Derby recs, Bridget West from Calderfield and A. Farrell from Brenesc.
OUTSTANDING GAMES
Due to the recent inclement weather and the condition of some greens only one game was played on the 27th May the result of which was Richmond 2 5 Brenesc 10. In the second division one team contacted their opponents during Tuesday morning stating that they could not raise a team and would not be turning up. Their opponents will be awarded the full match points. Revised League Tables will be produced next week.
Because of the number of cancelations it is proposed that all the games from the 27th May will be played on Friday 27th June 2025. It is appreciated that some teams have already re-arranged their games and these arrangements will be accepted providing they are before the 27th June. No re-arranged games will be allowed after this date .It is appreciated that the League rules state that outstanding game must be played by 21 days but looking at the fixture list that is a little difficult to comply generally. We have only got to have a few repeats of the 27th May and the League are in trouble trying to find suitable alternative dates.
