All games were rained off this week and under new rules every team that had a game shared 1 point each.
This puts South Park 1896 in an unexpected position, they had a bye this week and therefore now have 2 games in hand and didn’t have to lose the opportunity of 4 points. Whether they can take advantage of this remains to be seen.
Irony is when nobody plays bowls for rain when it was dry for the whole duration of 6.30pm to 8.30pm – it does make you realise why bowls isn’t considered a serious sport……every year people quote safety. Its a wonder where this is backed up statistically as in the last 30 years of bowling only 4 injuries are remembered and 3 of those weren’t even rain related.
