Divison 2 Knockout Cup - Green allocations

The problem of a date clash with the Eccles Vets’ league was raised at the meeting on 18 January. To resolve this we need to make some changes to green allocations in the division 2 knockout cup:

Round 1: Chandos v Sale Cons B will be at Urmston Mens instead of Monton.

Round 2: Flixton Cons B or Patricroft Park v Metro Sports B or Chandos will be at Monton instead of Urmston Mens.

The draws for both cups are available - follow the links from the Tables page.

2012 Fixtures

The original set of fixtures had qute a few errors, and they have been re-done.

Please ensure you use the current data, available from the Tables link above.

Substitutions in Division 2

The AGM decided that if a team is short then one player may play again. This applies in Division 2 matches only.

The rules have now been updated, as follows:

In second division league matches, if a team is short then its captain may ask the player with the worst score from the first four to play again.

Notes:

1. If there are joint worst scores in the first four then their captain may choose amongst them.
2. The player playing again should be shown on the score sheet with (2) after his name (eg “John Smith (2)”). The score in this game counts as normal except that it does not count to the averages of the player playing again.
3. Only one player may play again on each team. Further absences to be recorded as 21-0 walkovers.
4. If (all of) the worst loser(s) do not wish to play again then a 21-0 walkover to be recorded.
