Competitions: Founder Members

It was a cold night on the 2nd June at Steventon Sports that 10 hardy over 55 players turned up to battle it out for the Founder Members trophy 2016.

K.Fisher, B.Duff, B Moody, B.Adams, G.Brind, A.Humphries, A.Wood, D.Coles, M.Crook, B.Parker all turned out on a cold evening – thank you.

A couple of preliminary games and we had 8 players to get down to the finalists with both the finalists coming from those preliminary games.

All-in-all we had some tense games going to 3 and 1 stick in some drawn legs.

In the end Bob Duff (Ab Utd) and Brian ‘Laddie’ Moody (Steventon Sports) were victorious in securing their places in the final which will be played on Finals Night 14th Sept at Ab. Utd FC.

Summer 2016 – Week 1 Results

A SAD LOSS: It is also a sad week as Harwell RBL B lost Ellis Downes, the young lad who drowned at the weekend. Our condolences to the family, friends and the teams. Matches for both A & B teams will be rescheduled.


ONLINE SCORECARDS: So it was the first week and with a lot of prodding by the Committee we have most scorecards in and posted. BUT, you know who you are, some are not entering online and are trying to play players that aren’t registered and some aren’t putting the MATCH ID on the top of the card and some aren’t posting afterwards. PLEASE make it easy for you and easy for us by:- registering players before playing them, getting your card online, getting your match id on the card and posting the card to arrive by SATURDAY. Doing this makes it far less onerous for the Committee to manage the leagues.  If you are having any issues contact us and we’ll do our best to sort you out.

We want as many people playing the game so we don’t want to start having to fine teams (or disqualifying matches or worst case, kick teams out) for not following the rules that everyone has signed up to follow. Losing Captains/Secretaries have a duty here to check as well and poke if necessary ! Thank you.


THE RESULTS

Parker and Higgs got 6’s to crack off the new season with Parker going straight into the over 14s!

Sixers: B Parker (Abingdon United B),C Higgs (Waggon and Horses B)

WE START THIS WEEK ! Summer Season 2016

We start the 57th Summer Season this week and the forecast is warming up just like our beloved game!

Thank you for those Secretaries who’ve asked for spelling corrections on player names. Next year please print better on the form! 😉

I also hope you’ve all checked you can still login and get the match card up – it won’t load properly yet as we’re not open for cards until match night but you should get a message.

Encourage those in your teams to sign up to the newsletter (so they get these updates) and like, follow and subscribe to our facebook, twitter and youtube channels!

You know it’s good when you hear the wood!

Roll on Summer!

Summer League 2016 – Final Check

All the teams and player names are now in the online scoring system (thanks James/Paul) so please tell your Secretaries to check the players (and spelling!) and email if corrections are needed. You should also have received your fixture packs including new scorecards with the new Dolly Recorder’s address on (don’t use old scorecards please!) but the fixture list etc is of course available for download and printing from the website.

All team Secretaries should also try to login to ensure they are ready to enter their first winning game! Note the password reset option will only work if your username has a valid email address! Contact us if you have problems  as any teams not entering their cards online may be subject to disqualification subject to a Committee decision.

Last but not least………The G Section will have a separate fixture list as there are only 5 teams there. This will be posted online later.
