It’s been an eventful last few weeks in the Lancashire Mens Interleague, Darwen entertained local rivals at the end of March and after a poor start and being 1-6 down came back to draw 9-9 at the end.

Preston failed to fulfil their fixture with Leyland on 25.03.12 & have since dropped out due to lack of interest. Burnley have not sent in their match card v Chorley from 01.04.2012, fines + point deductions have been applied.

With Preston dropping out those who have already played them the appearance stats applies, for those who haven’t the overall games have been taken off & is reflected in the app stats spreadsheet.

The Ladies team continue to develop well but coming up against the super team of Lancashire Hotpots in Preston they hit a brick wall, with the Hotpots taking the game 13-1. Darwen Ladies Champion Kelly Whitworth being the only winner.

Meanwhile Kelly, along with fellow Darwen and Alex B player Cath Slater, started their campaign in the Ladies International Pool Tour. Kelly made the last 32 in Event 1 of the tour and both are hoping to improve in Event 2 at Club 147, Leicester on Sun 6th / Mon 7th May. Current provisional rankings show Kelly ranked 39, with Cath ranked number 40.

As you may or may not know but this season we have had a Mens Interleague team taking part in the Lancashire section of the competition. The team has learned a lot from this season and we are looking positively ahead to the new year.

In 2011, we are also introducing a Darwen Ladies Team for playing in the 2011 season. We see this as a progressive step into recruiting more of the fairer sex into the League.

As a starter for this, on Monday 13th December 8pm (Registration Night) at the Engineers, we will be having a Mens -v- Ladies Interleague Teams Challenge match. This will allow the Ladies to gain some needed experience of the InterLeague setup and will be played at Full World Rules, including Timing Rules.
