Boor & Wainwright Shield Competition

Stamford & District Bowls League Boor & Wainwright Shield Competition

The Boor & Wainwright Shield is competed for annually by all the teams registered in the Stamford & District Bowls League.

Format:

Two teams of 9 registered players compete on three rinks, playing 21 ends (plus 2 trial ends) of two-wood triples to EBF rules. The teams are handicapped according to their positions in the league divisions at the start of the season.

The first stage is a round-robin, with teams drawn in groups. For 2024, there are 4 groups, three with 7 teams and one with six teams. Each team plays every other team in the same group once, at the green of the home-drawn team.

The top eight teams go forward to the quarter finals. The quarter finals and semi-finals are played on a knock-out basis, with play-by dates  (to be decided) for each stage.

For 2024, the top 2 teams in each of the 4 groups will go forward to the quarter finals. The draw will be published after all the results have been entered.

Reminder: Having once played in any round of the competition a player shall then be “cup-tied” to any other competing team. Players registered for another team within the club are not eligible.

Final:

The final will be played at Langtoft Bowls Club on Saturday 24th August 2024 at 2.00 pm.

The winning team will be presented with the Boor & Wainwright Shield, to be held for one year.
