| Obituary - Eddie Edwards | 14th
Jul |
|
| It is with the deepest sadness that we have to report the passing of Eddie Edwards. | ||
| Eddie played in many great teams over the years, starting off in the Oxford League before moving to West Oxfordshire where he played firstly | ||
| in the Wychwood League, where his team reigned supreme for many years before moving to play in the Bampton League. | ||
| Eddie's last full season for the Bampton League was in 2019 when he scored 151 dolls. | ||
| He was well known, and respected by all who knew him and although he may have been a top player was always extremely humble with it | ||
| and keen to offer advice to help others improve. | ||
|
In short Eddie was a true gentleman and he we will be greatly missed by all that knew him in the numerous leagues that he played in. |
||
| Eddie's funeral will take place at 10.00 am on Thursday the 21st of July followed by drinks at The Windrush Pub, Burford Road, Witney. | ||
| Awarded games | 22nd
Jun |
|
| Taverners and Silverbacks have been awarded 3 legs + average dolls for their unplayed games against Rowing Machine and Dolly Spartan respectively. | ||
| Average dolls will be added at week 9 | ||
| Competition entry | 14th
May |
|
| Competition entry is now open - accessible via the captain's menu. We'll let it run until June 20th. | ||
| Because we only managed a partial season last year, the criteria for entry to the Sub 5s is limiting, so we have decided not to run it for this year. | ||
| It will be held as normal next year, using this year's data as entry criteria. | ||
| Apart from the Sub 5s, make sure you enrol all your entrants in one go. Any problems - just shout. | ||
