Norman passed away peacefully on Friday 13th September.

He played for the Richmond Lions for over 30 years winning all three team competitions and divisions 1 and 2. Along with his team mates at Lions, our thoughts go out to his wife Pat and his children Alan and Jo and their families.

Due to unavailability of the alley, Phoenix Nights have left the Victory and will be playing their home games at the Q Club No 1 alley on 20th September and 4th October. They will then play all their home games at the Brewers Arms until 28th February when they will return to the Q club to finish the season.

The final took place at The Richmond club, Military D beat Shop Assistants 281 to 256, The presentation of the cups took place afterwards, most teams involved donated their prize money  to the league charity, Military D donated £50, Shop Assistants £40, Woolfy's Pack £25 and Ratbags £25 (did not attend) so a big thankyou to those teams. The only downside was that the food that had been ordered did not turn up!!!  Well done to all who took part in the summer competition and good luck in the forthcoming winter season if you are taking part.

16th Aug .... A 3 way play off took place at the Military Club to lose one section winner, the game was between Military D, Shop Assistants & Evans SC who were unfortunately the lowest score so go out.

The two semi final games will be held at the Railway Club on Wednesday the 21st, and will be as follows, Military D V Woolfy's Pack on Alley 2. And Shop Assistants V Ratbags on alley 1. Good luck to the four teams.

The final and presentation of cups, medals & highest season score will then be on Friday 23rd at the Richmond club. That will then end the summer season, well done to all that took part.

When the new Winter season starts in September there will be Bye's in Divisions 3 & 4. If the same situation exists next season (2025/26) the committee will look into creating a small competition in those divisions to use up the spare Fridays and to allow teams to be playing every Friday as in Div's 1 & 2. As for this coming season the committee encourage teams to maybe arrange friendly games on the spare Fridays.
