Ifton Miners - Winter League Champions 2024/25

 

Congratulations to Ifton Miners for winning the Bradley Winter League for the second year running, third time overall. They were unbeaten all season until their final match, losing out to runners-up Gladstone. Flying Pierres have been in the mix but had to settle for third, while Coed Talon took fourth. Newcomers Ice Dragons finished a commendable fifth and only aggregate shots separated Bradley and Celts in sixth & seventh. Following them were Pentre Broughton, Arctic Knights and Rhosddu. Near the bottom we have to give a special mention to The Latecomers, who stepped in at the last minute to make sure we had 12 teams, and also Bersham, both teams kept going throughout the season.

Congratulations to Ifton's Clay Flattley for topping the singles averages, winning 19 out of 21 games, and also to Simon Tyler & Ian Jones of Ifton who topped the pairs averages.

Ray thanked everyone at the presentation evening and we always appreciate everyone who comes along to play. The captains have once again done a great job, giving me less fixture headaches than last year. A big thank you to all our volunteers in the kitchen and to Ian in the bar, to the Bradley club members who help keep the green and surroundings in good shape and to everyone else who's supported in any way.

Pictured is Ifton Miners' captain Joey Williams being presented with the trophy by the Deputy Mayor of Wrexham, Tina Mannering. Tina is also on the Wauns Carnival committee who kindly sponsored the singles and pairs averages prizes. The prize winners and a representative from each team can be seen receiving their prizes.

Enjoy your summer bowls everyone and we hope to see you back again next winter.
Best wishes,
Kevin & Ray

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
