This Tuesday, 21st February, sees our annual Competition in memory of Brian Brady. Brian (pictured right) was a founder member of our League and as well as a talented player he was also a leader who encouraged less able players to get involved in our sport for the friendship and fun aspect it brings.
The Leagues top 7 teams at the Xmas break will play off in Whitehead GRSC with the bottom 7 playing off in Whiteabbey RBL. The innovative format is best of 7 frames with 3 singles, 2 doubles (Scotch) and another 2 singles. The match ends when a team gets to 4. Names are drawn out of a hat, first the 5 singles, then the 2 doubles. If a team has more than 5 players the player/s not drawn out for the singles are drawn into the doubles pairings first. A player can only play a maximum of 1 singles and 1 doubles if the draw permits.Top 7 draw 1st Round (Played in Whitehead GRSC)
