NW Croquet League Fixtures 2021

NW Croquet Federation 2021 fixtures now published

The provisional fixture list for the 2021 federation croquet league season have now been published and has been sent to club secretaries and nominated team captains for comment. All six leagues including B Level advanced, Weekend and Midweek Handicap and Short Lawn AC and Level Play and Handicap GC will run as usual.

There are a couple of new entrants in the leagues. After a plan to take part in the Short Lawn league last year, which of course didn’t come off, Llanfairfechan have entered the Short Lawn league again this year as well as entering the Level Play GC league. Fylde have re-entered the B level AC league after a short absence to replace Crake Valley who have dropped out and Culcheth have again rejoined the Level Play GC league after standing down in 2020. Bury have reverted to just one team in the level play and handicap GC leagues.

In total we have 183 matches scheduled for the season which, Covid permitting, will commence on Saturday the 10th April and run through to mid-September. If for any reason we are forced to delay the start of the season we have plans in place to respond accordingly to ensure that we at last can return to the lawns in 2021.

How is Your Club Planning for 2019

The registration form for the Federation 2019 leagues has now been circulated to all clubs in the North West Federation.  Clubs are invited to complete the form and return it to the league manager no later than the 31stDecember 2018.

The Provisional Fixture Lists will be prepared and issued no later than the end of January.  Any changes to the draft fixture list should be agreed with opposing team captains and the league manager informed no later than the 25th February so that the final fixture lists can be prepared and issued by the 28th of February at the latest.  The 2019 league season will start on Saturday the 6th April and all matches need to be completed no later than Sunday 13th October.

At the Federation AGM in November some changes were proposed and agreed for the 2019 season:

  • The handicap criteria for eligibility to participate in the Advanced B league were amended.
  • Clubs may enter combined teams in the advanced B league if they wish.
  • Corner pegs are to be mandatory for all AC, including short lawn, league matches rather than optional.

Full details are highlighted in the draft rules which will be presented to the Federation Spring Meeting for final approval.
