Latest information:

 

Wed 15th Jan 2025

 

The recent postponed fixtures have been rearranged and confirmed (bar one). Captains have been informed, the website has been updated and a new fixture list will be displayed in the clubhouse from tonight.

 

Tue 14th Jan 2025

 

The green is now open, the Winter League matches are back on from tonight, Tues 14th Jan.

 

Mon 13th Jan 2025

 

Green closed until Tuesday 14th January 1.00pm but we have confidence the matches will be on this week

 

The green has started to thaw where the sun gets on it but is still frozen in front of the clubhouse. Until this improves, the green remains closed until lunchtime on Tues 14th Jan when Ray will inspect it again. He's fairly confident however that with the warmer temperatures it'll thaw out in time for Tuesday night's matches. I'll update again on Tues.

 

Sun 12th Jan 2025

 

Green closed until Monday 13th January, 1.00pm at the earliest

 

The green is still frozen solid and until Ray inspects it on Monday at 1.00pm and provides a further update, it remains closed so please don't go on it. We hope that with the forecast warmer weather coming in it will thaw out in time for all the matches to be on this week.

 

Thu 9th Jan 2025

 

Matches for Thurs 9th January postponed

 

The green is frozen solid and icy and is unlikely to thaw by tonight which means both matches are called off. The captains have been informed.

 

Wed 8th Jan 2025

 

Matches for Weds 8th January postponed but Thurs 9th January are going ahead

 

The green is still playable and surrounding roads are fine, however both matches tonight 8th Jan are postponed. Celts v Bersham is due to illness in the Bersham team and Ice Dragons v Rhosddu is due to reluctance of some Ice Dragons players to travel a distance in this weather.

 

The matches for Thurs 9th January are still scheduled to go ahead unless the weather changes dramatically, in which case team captains will be informed.

 

Tue 7th Jan 2025

 

Matches for Tues 7th January are going ahead

 

We know there's snow elsewhere but Ray has been to the green this morning and it's fine, all roads round Bradley are OK so the matches are on tonight.

3 Jacks vs 2 Jacks - Clarification of Rule

 

To prevent any disputes we want to clarify what should happen when the match that starts with 3 jacks passes a jack to the match that starts with only 2.

Rule 6 (see link to Rules in the Home Page menu) reads:

If your match starts with 3 Jacks you must pass the Jack from the first singles game that finishes to the other match, to be used for a singles game. Each match will then keep hold of their own Jacks.

 

It doesn't matter if the first game in the match with only 1 singles jack finishes before both singles jacks in the other match, the first jack to finish from the match that started with 2 singles must still go across.
 
We accept that in this situation the match that started with 1 singles jack would now be onto their 3rd game but this AND their 2nd game are likely to have only just started. The match that started with 2 singles jacks would be fairly quickly onto their 3rd game anyway as soon as their 2nd jack finishes. The key point is that if the jack isn't passed over in this scenario, the match that started with 1 singles jack would only be on game 2, awaiting the end of the 2nd singles jack game in the other match, while that match would already be on game 3, which we think is unfair and why the rule was worded in this way.
 
There will be "winners" and losers" in terms of which match gets ahead of the other or finishes first, as it's the speed of the games that really dictate this. We've therefore tried to be fair by giving everyone the same number of matches starting with either 2 or 3 jacks across the season. We're finding in any case that there's not usually a massive gap between the end times of matches.
 
We're trying to give you all a simple rule to work to and avoid any disputes on the night as to who is having the next singles jack.
 
Of course, the pairs should continue to be considered separately and each match should always keep hold of their pairs jack until both pairs' games in the match are finished.
 
Thanks
Kevin & Ray
