The League table is as close as it can be. The competition is wide open, Ilminster have the edge with points on the board and one fixture to play at home to Chardstock. Mathematically every club has a chance of finishing on thirty points to share the lead. The League guidelines do not have any provision for such an eventuality e.g. points scored per rink etc, so it would be unfair to impose any conditions now. In the event of a tie, the honour of League champions would be shared jointly.

This years cup will remain a one off, end of season finisher, with all five clubs attending, playing two triples rinks each. The format will be in two halves providing an opportunity for everyone to play against each other over 8 ends if daylight allows. To speed up the final, it was agreed that no mentoring will be allowed on the green. On the point of mentoring we agreed on two main principles, it should be as invisible and inaudible as possible to minimise potential inteference with bowlers in possession of the rink. We confirmed that the only expectation on hosting a league match is to offer a drink at the conclusion of the fixture. We confirmed our commitment to utiising the league for development, though we discussed criteria for inclusion we agreed to not make stipulations for participation, allowing each club to select according to their own development criteria. Happy Bowling everyone!
