The 2026 season is underway, a victory for Ilminster at Merriott on a cold but dry evening. This year’s Cup and Awards evening will be hosted by South Petherton @6pm on Monday 17th August.

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!
