UPDATE #2

Sorry for not getting back sooner. Having just spoken to Bertie, it has been decided that there is not sufficient committment or confidence to restart the season at this point. It appears that out of the 22 teams, only about half would be prepared to play.

Regarding the knockouts, the situation is the same. There are teams/players involved who are not in a position to committ to playing at the moment.

We will therefore not be restarting any of the competitions at the moment. We will look at options when confidence returns, but can give no timescale at this point.

Update!

Bertie has been in touch with some captains and venues, and has come back to me with a possible restart date in two weeks time, on MONDAY 24th AUGUST. There has been mixed feedback, with some teams indicating that remaining games won't be played. The main reason is safety concerns from players with health issues, but there are other factors, including availability of venues and lack of interest.  

He is hoping to confirm within the next few days, but is still waiting to hear from some teams. As soon as I know, I'll let you know. Cheers.

Mixed Doubles - Semi Finals

Mixed Doubles Semi-Finals - Tuesday 24th March 2020
The draw is as follows;
Gary / Jo P (Victory) v Debbie / Dave (Hare & Hounds B)
Tania / Vince (Dragoon A) v Marie / Dave C (Dragoon A)
Unfortunately, I've not had time to arrange a neutral venue, and I don't have contact details for Gary / Jo P at the Victory. If I could ask Ben (Victory Capt) to liase with Debbie, and maybe try to agree a date, and I will try to sort out a venue.
Tan / Marie : I'll let you arrange your own game. Let me know who wins.
Semi-Finals is the best of 5 frames.

Singles Knockout - Semi Finals

Singles Knockout Semi-Finals - Tuesday 24th March 2020
The draw is as follows;
Gee (Lashings B) v Adrian (Century Club)
Josh (Lashings B) v Dean (Civil Service A)
Gerry / Adrian : This game is postponed, as Gee is away on holiday. When he returns and a date is confirmed, I will try to confirm a neutral venue.
Josh / Dean : I have spoken to the landlord at The Victory, and he is happy to have your game there. I will leave it up to you if/when you decide to play it.

Week 19 Fixtures


Week 18 Results

This week has been challenging, to put it mildly! I was having to deal with multiple cancellations whilst I was out at the Victory with patchy mobile signal, trying to arrange a neutral knockout venue!
In Division 1, The Fox v Lashings All-Stars game was cancelled at short notice, then un-cancelled at even shorter notice and then called off. I've spoken to both captains and this game is being left as postponed, for now.
In Division 2, both Century Club and Duke of Marlborough A cancelled at short notice due to health concerns, after the Prime Minister's announcement. These games are being left as postponed for now, but if conditions worsen as expected, these games may not get rearranged.
The Dragoon B v Papermakers match was also cancelled at short notice, and the points awarded to the Dragoon. The Papermakers already have 3 unplayed games, and it is unlikely that they will all be rearranged.
