SCUNTHORPE INDOOR BOWLS REPORT 

As you will be aware last year I have stopped producing full weekly Bowls Reports but I have given it some thought during these difficult times and I have decided to continue to produce a very much shorter report on a three to four week basis. So this is my first brief report on the current position of the indoor bowls leagues as they stand prior to the commencement of the second National Lockdown.
Of course it has been difficult to sort the adjustment of the leagues out with a total of 35 teams withdrawing from these leagues although 10 of those teams have since been taken over by other captains. Unfortunately most of these withdrawals took place as the leagues were due to start or had started but these seem to have been sorted now.
The current league standings do not include the adjustment for any cancelled matches but that will be addressed in the next few weeks and the league tables adjusted accordingly. S let us all hope that when this National Lockdown ends we will be able to get back bowling. Please keep your eye on the SIBC website for further information as to when we will be able resume indoor bowls and the leagues.
