League Fixtures
The Monday Night schedule has been revised to cater for 11 teams in both Division 4 & 5 and the website updated. Still outstanding are the Veterans Division and it is hoped to put these on the website shortly.
In line 2 of each fixture list, I have the following “updated DD MMM YYYY HH.MM pm.” Once all league fixtures are reviewed for the final time, I will amend this comment to finalised and there will be no further changes after that.
Fixtures are not definitive until the word Finalised is included at the top of each fixture list.
ILB Unfurling
The unfurling of the new ILB flag took place yesterday in Leinster Bowling Club the home of the first ILB Lady President Anne O’Herlihy. Among Anne’s many guests were the IBA President Henry McFarland and the IWBA President Jacqui Byrne.
The day started with the unfurling followed by a “friendly” match between President Anne’s team and a team from Leinster Bowling Club. As is customary the match finished in an honourable draw. This was followed by a meal in the club house and concluded when Leinster Captain Mary Kelly presented Anne with a bouquet if flowers.
There follows a number of photos of the day. My thanks to Ken Barker of Blackrock B.C. who took some of the below.
