Results of Moorings Winter League
Team Results after Round Six
Nore 330
Suir 303
Liffey 394
Barrow 313
Lee 329
Corrib 252
Blackwater 245
Shannon 248
Round 6 of the league has now been compiled and as per results above, there has been a big shake-up in the results, we now have the Liffey in first position with the Nore and the Lee in hot pursuit, there is still time to get your team in contention!!
As we are approaching midway in the leagues we would ask all participants to support their teams by putting in their scores whether good or bad as low scores can be eliminated after 10 rounds. At this stage, some teams are putting in a supreme effort with some ladies having completed their 10 rounds to date, this shows commitment to their teams and the concept of the winter league, well done ladies!!!
Senior Alliance
Our Senior Alliance which was scheduled to be played in the Gold Coast was cancelled due to inclement weather conditions, it will be re-scheduled in the new Year, date to be advised.
Christmas Ham Competition
Our annual Xmas competition has now started and is running until the second/third week of December and for a mere €3 entry you may be gracing your table with a delicious ham!!
Season’s Greetings
Wishing our Captains John and Anne, management and staff and all our members a wonderful Christmas and a Peaceful and Happy New Year!!
