Despite our best efforts Brighton has been unable to arrange a game against Marion RSL for our new Div 7 team. This means those on the emergency list are invited to play at Brighton on Sat at the normal time.

Current emergency list is (as at Friday 5.30PM): K Creek; L Rowley; K Rowley; D Schaffer; R Spriggs, M Mudge; R Blakelock; J Callahan; W Haby; T Fanning.

Metro Bowls has advised that Brighton’s new team will be playing in Div 7 South next week, so this will keep our rested players/emergency list to a minimum.

I trust you understand the predicament we are in when we don’t have enough places for our players. Conversely we now need you to be available each week barring unforeseen circumstances.

Brighton has been successful in entering a second Div 7 South team in the Sat pennant competition.

Metro Bowls will finalize the draw and update software programs as soon as possible.

Pending this action I am trying to organize a competition with Marion RSL Div 7 White This Saturday 13Oct18.

Marion are trying to get a team together as they had a bye under the old program.

More details on this website as soon as they are finalized.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Brighton has entered 7 teams in the Saturday competition based on the number of players who indicated early last month they would play on Saturdays. We have welcomed new players to the club and existing members who now wish to play in the Sat pennant competition and we are now faced with nominating too many emergency players and/or resting players on a rotational basis each week.

This presents some difficulties for the selectors and players and is unsatisfactory.

This week we have 15 players coming back into the teams on Sat 13Oct18.

To address the problem I proposed 3 options today; namely

Option 1 Enter another Div 7 team in the competition (requires Metro Bowls approval and the request is in progress).

Option 2 A second Div 7 team will play other clubs who have a Bye in Div7, and

Option 3 Have an internal match at home.

The options are being pursued as quickly as possible and I will keep you informed on this website.

If you were not selected in Saturday’s teams please come to the club (in uniform) on Sat and play.

As soon as I have more info I will post on this website.

Be assured we are doing our best to get everyone a game.

Contact me if you want to discuss anything.
