WINTER SEASON
The winter fixtures are not part of the ESMBA Winter Inter-County Championships but are organised separately by the NESMBA (formerly Northern Zone) on a league basis. All games do however follow ESMBA playing format. We have entered a team in this league since our formation in 1991. From 2006/07 home games will return to the Galtres Centre in Easingwold (after 7 years at Bubwith). From 2007/08 we will be entering TWO teams in this league.
All teams are composed of 20 players (two Singles, Pairs, Triples and Fours) playing fixed ends to ESMBA rules. If you are interested in playing in the Winter season, contact the Captain, Ralph Parsons, who together with the Vice Captain and another appointed team player form the Selection Committee, responsible for selecting a team of 20 for each fixture.
14/10/03 - After canvassing our membership during August-October 2003, there was enough interest and commitment shown for the Committee to agree to go ahead and enter the ESMBA Summer Inter County Championships in 2004. It was anticipated that there would be two home and two away games played on Sundays between mid-May and mid-July. The latter would involve a trip to the midlands (possibly against Warwickshire, Worcestershire or the West Midlands). Home game venue would be decided. It was planned to travel away by coach (depart around 6.45am probably from Easingwold) at an estimated cost of £12 per head. A match fee of around £5 would be levied.
01/11/03 - Our application was withdrawn after we learnt that both Warwickshire and Worcestershire were not taking part in 2004. With two other counties also dropping out this would have meant us being placed in a group of FIVE including Norfolk and Essex. It was felt that this was a commitment we could no longer fulfil. We have asked the ESMBA once again to consider changing the format of this competition to allow for smaller teams and smaller groups. The situation will be reviewed again at some point in the future.
