AND THE 2024 AUNT SALLY WORLD CHAMPION IS.......
Drumroll please....Congratulations to Roger Goodall, who on Saturday became the first three time winner of the World Championship
held at the Charlbury Beer Festival. Roger had to be on top form all day as he faced a run of very tough matches, but he remained calm to claim the trophy for a third time. The event was very well
supported by players from our league, who made the journey to make it another enjoyable event. Well done fella, and well done to everyone who participated.

THREE PIGEONS ...
All, I recently sent out an email to all the captains of the sides in the Premier & Section One regarding the Pigeons pulling out of the league. Just to confirm, due to this I have made the following changes to the various stats:
- The results from the matches that had been played have now been removed
- The individual scores from those matches have also been removed
- I have KEPT any sixes scored, Big Hitter scores or anything included within the Stats of Fun section in those matches
.....................................................................................................................................................................
THE WYCHWOOD RECORD SCORE HAS BEEN...
Tied!!!
Step forwards Steve England. What a performance!
Playing at home for Charlbury last week, Steve managed to hit the small matter of 6,5,5,6,6 to come in with a nightly total of 28
dolls. For those of you who can remember, Rob Bradford set the highest score back in 2022, which we thought would stand alone for many years. However, Steve has joined him on that total after this
effort.
This score won't get beaten........... or maybe it will???
Really well done Steve

TEAM GUIDANCE
It’s always nice to welcome new teams to our league. We pride ourselves on running the league in a friendly way, but of course we have rules in place to make sure things are fair to everyone. To assist you in understanding what is required from you, please see below for some items to guide you in the right direction.
• Only players who are signed on can participate in matches. Hopefully you have kept a copy of your submitted entry form which shows who you have signed on. But don’t worry if not. If you visit our website, and go to the individual page of each team, you will see the full list of players who are signed on. You can sign additional players on throughout the season, but you must let me know! Just email or text me with the full names of any new players. This is vital. As a friendly warning, we have previously ejected a side who consistently played ineligible players. Rules are rules. I am very flexible, but it’s down to you to communicate with me.
• As the home side, you are expected to provide the following:
o A clean, freshly painted doll
o A clean scoreboard, with players names clearly written on it by both teams, which will be the throwing order clearly displayed.
o A throw, correctly lighted, available for practice from 20:00 – no diners sitting on tables in the way!
o A scorecard – filled in first by your captain and then passed to the opposition captain to fill in. The home side should then complete the card as the match progresses. BOTH captains should sign
the card at the end of the match. This should of course be the same as the scoreboard.
o Some post-match nibbles – all players like a bit of hot food following a match!
o Take a picture and send in the card. The winning captain is technically responsible for sending the card to me. However, if you have someone who drives past my house then arrange for them to
deliver it. Send me a picture on the night so that I can get ahead of things. But the result is only official when I have the hard copy on my desk. I NEED THE HARD COPY
ASAP!
• Keep an eye on the website! This is updated every week, and you will find all the important information on
it

CANCELLED & POSTPONED FIXTURES
Just to clarify the process, if you need to postpone a match, you must:
1.Inform the captain or venue of your opponents, ideally at least 24 hours before the match is due to take place
2.Inform the Fixture Secretary
The postponed match should be replayed within 1 month of the original fixture date. Don't forget, you can bring fixtures forwards if required. For example, if you know that half your team is going on holiday at the same time, why not play the fixture before they go?
Contact information for each team can be found on this website
