Men’s Senior Inter Association Panel 2024

by | Nov 12, 2023 | ,

The men’s Senior Inter Association team for 2024 has been announced..

There will be a number of practice sessions between November 2023 and March 2024.   These will be held on a number of the all-weather greens.  The venues are yet to be decided.  We will have a few Saturday sessions when there is no winter league games and a couple of Sunday sessions on dates to be agreed.

We had a very successful assessment day in Blackrock a few weeks back and as a result we are extending the panel to include a number of younger players.  Congratulations to all the players who have made the panel and thank everyone who attended Blackrock for the assessments day.

Many thanks to Blackrock bowling club for the use of the green.

To all Winter League participants

by | Oct 28, 2023 | , ,

In the ILB Winter League many members of grass green clubs pay winter membership fees to synthetic green clubs and participate as part of a team under the name of their parent or their winter club. Others who don’t pay membership fees pay a green fee to the winter club each time they roll up or play a match there. These arrangements between host clubs and guest clubs are a matter entirely for  the clubs involved and have nothing to do with the ILB.
As the All Weather Bowling League agreed to transfer their funds to the ILB we have agreed that there will be no entry fees for any club or team for this year’s Winter League.
However  we have received complaints that some clubs are charging visiting teams €5 per person. The ILB Management Committee feel this practice is unwarranted and shouldn’t continue.
