Fixtures now available on the website.

I have today completed an improvement to the website for the league officials.
They can now write their news articles with full formatting capability allowing them to create bold, coloured and italic text of varying sizes along with bulleted and number lists, tables, images and video clips etc.
I am hoping that this improvement will brighten up the news pages with stories like this one about the squirrels taking it upon themselves to be armed and ready to fight back against the onslaught from 'The Verminator'.

The finals were played at Woodley Sports on Saturday 22nd September 2012.
The Husband Cup was a close match between the winners Trades Hall and Hadfield with the outcome only being decided with the last two jacks on the green final scores 213 - 195.
The Winning Plate was an even closer match between the winners Gamesley and the Grapes Hotel, the grapes just failing to overturn a 69 handicap losing by 5 chalks. Final scores 191 - 186.
League Chairman presented the trophies to the team captains.
An excellent turn out for the finals with supporters staying to the end.
Thanks to Woodley Sports for taking the Final at short notice, the green was in excellent condition which made for some excellent bowling. Thanks to Mal Walker for his help during the match.
