              Latest News from the WCGBA Junior League

              Decisions from the Junior League meeting Friday 23rd. April

               a. The launch date has been put back 2 weeks and the new Junior League will start on the weekend Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd May 2010

              b. 5 teams have been entered from the Flintshire/Wrexham areas

              c. Only 3 teams have so far been entered from the Glyndwr/Gwynedd areas.

              d. The delay in starting is to allow us time to persuade and help other teams to enter especially in the Glyndwr/Gwynedd where ideally we would want a fourth team.

              e. David Walker is currently working on the fixture lists and these will be published soon.

              f. League Rules as compiled by DT Evans and Dave Walker of the WCGBA Competitions Committee will be issued to all registered teams shortly.

              g. Basis format of matches : each match will consist of 4 singles and 2 doubles.

              h. The overriding objective is to seek to get every registered Junior players bowling competitively whatever the age and experience.

              i. To help in this respect all teams agreed to adopt a stance that aims to avoid a 'win at all costs attitude' and to approach the matches in the right spirit with captains agreeing to ensure that the order of play did not lead to mis-matches and potential harm and damage to any inexperienced players.

              If you need further information you can get quite a lot from the 2 WCGBA Newsletters issued already in March and April 2010 and which will be with your Club Secretary or on your Noticeboard. There is a lis of contacts there to help too.

              Please get involved. We regard this as one of the most important initiatives of recent years!!
