FOR INFORMATON

The Veterans section of the League have recently voted on an amendment to the rules allowing for the number of players playing twice in the SECOND DIVISION ONLY .

The amendment was to allow up to 4 (FOUR) players who can play twice.

The result of the vote

FOR 8 AGAINST 4 With Two clubs not voting.

To avoid confusion the rule now reads ;-

11. Teams in Division 1 shall consist of a minimum of 8 (Eight) players, teams in Division 2 shall consist of a minimum of 6 players, but may register more than this number if they so wish as long as the club pays the set administration fee of Shropshire Crown Green Bowling Association when called to do so. Matches shall comprise of FOUR games of singles and THREE games of doubles.

12. There shall be 7 (Seven) points awarded per match. One (1) point for each individual winner (Four points), 1 point for each doubles winner 3 (three), with 2 (two) points to the team winning the aggregate score. In the event of a tie on aggregate each team will receive 1 (one) point in addition to the individual game points won by the team.

(12.1) Playing twice in Division 1 only, the maximum number of players who can play twice is 2 (TWO) and they cannot play as a pair in the pairs.

Playing twice in division 2 only, division 2 teams are allowed to play up to 4 of their singles players in the doubles games, these cannot play as a pair unless their team only has 6 players, in which case only 2 singles players can play as a pair. The other 2 doubles games to consist of 1 singles player and one who has not yet played.

For each player that plays twice in a match, 6 (six) chalks will be deducted from that teams aggregate total. The maximum number of players who can play twice is 4 (Four).

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart, that we announce the passing of Jeff Jones on Wednesday 25th March 2026, aged 69. Jeff played for many clubs in the Oswestry league throughout his 50 plus years of bowling, and made so many friends on the bowls circuit. Plas Kynaston, Flexsys, Rhos, Ifton, Ruabon, Ponciau park, Chirk and Johnstown all benefitted from having Jeff at their club. He always went out of his way to help new bowlers, especially youngsters, giving advice and guidance on how to play the game. His personality around the greens will be sorely missed. Our thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to Jeff's family and friends. Rest in peace Jeff
