The subsequent eight remaining teams will then play to decide the semi-finalists.\u00a0 The semi-final and final will be played on the same day at an agreed venue. This year, 2022, the venue is Jubilee Park.<\/span><\/p>\n

EBF rules apply. Each game will be decided by the AGGREGATE score of all three rinks, with a previously drawn rink to play off if the scores are tied.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe Home team will deliver the jack at the first end. The Captains will toss for the jack before the semi-final and the final.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each team will consist of three rinks of three people, bowling three bowls each over 18 ends. Should a match be terminated for any reason, then the aggregate score at the time of termination will count as the final score provided at least 12 ends have been COMPLETED, by all three rinks. If 12 ends have not been completed by all three rinks then the match shall be void and shall be replayed in its entirety at a date MUTUALLY agreed between the teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stan Hargraves Cup.<\/h3>\n

This Competition takes place on Wednesday 3rd of August at Eslaforde Park. It is an competition for individuals as explained by the Competition Secretary.\u00a0 It would be useful if Club Captains could give some idea of the numbers planning to attend to officials at Eslaforde to help with planning for catering\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

League Results<\/h3>\n

As we are approaching the end of the season I have carried out an audit of the results so far and found these are correct. However, I have found an error in the calculation of the\u00a0 league table and have made the required correction. I apologise for this mistake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Stan Hargraves Cup<\/h3>\n

\u00a0The Stan Hargraves competition was won by Chris Kent from Cranwell with 63 shots. There were 30 people who participated. Just the right number. Thank you to all of you. The weather was a bit drizzly then got quite hot in the afternoon. A big thank you to Eslaforde Park for preparing the green and keeping us fed and watered.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Wilkinson Shield<\/h3>\n

The semi finals and final of the competition took place on the Jubilee Park green. A big thank you to Norman, Carolyn and the groundsman, apologies for not remembering your first name, for preparing everything and for being such good hosts. The semi-finals were played in a good spirit and with some good bowling. Woodpeckers prevailed over Horncastle and Ruskington beat Billinghay.
\nThe final in the afternoon set off about 2 o’clock with everyone raring to go. After trial ends a very close match ensued with Woodpeckers just in the lead but with five or six ends to go the tide turned and Ruskington came out 64 to 56 winners. Congratulations to Ruskington. Patrick our President presented the shield to Ruskington and distributed the prize money to the winners and the runners up.
\nA big thank you to all those taking part. It was nice to see all six rinks being played on in the morning. I hope you all enjoyed the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

League Result<\/h3>\n

Congratulations to Sleaford Town on winning this league this season. <\/span>Billinghay were second. <\/span><\/p>\n

It has been confirmed that Jubilee Park will only be entering one <\/span>team next year. I need to know that know that all other teams intend to continue next year so that\u00a0 the programme can be set out in time for the AGM.<\/span><\/p>\n
