Knock out for the big boys

posted by John Winn

In yesterday's posting I made reference to the progress of the Village Cup and some interesting matches coming up this weekend. The national ko for larger clubs is also well underway with some giants having fallen by the wayside. Despite rain in some areas on Sunday May 31st most ties scheduled for that day were completed and apart from two games this week the next action takes place on Sunday week when there are 14 ties scheduled. These  will decide the group winners and are as follows

Group 1 South North v Chester Le Street
           2 Chesterfield v Sheffield Collegiate
           3 Kimberley Institute v Caythorpe (Notts)
           5 Hyde v Bowdon *
