All Weather Bowling League Fixtures
The AWBA fixture list for the 2022 / 23 season is now on the website – see
https://irishlawnbowls.ie/awba-fixtures-list/.
There are 4 Southern Divisions and every effort has been made to avoid the situation where 3 matches are scheduled for the same day on the same green. This is the reason why some clubs in sections 3 and 4 have some free Saturdays. Clubs are requested to study their own fixtures and ensure that there are no more than 2 matches scheduled for their green on any particular day. If there are any problems please email Lorcan Finn
