Taylor Support Shropshire Premier Bowls League
On Friday 11th September in their Flowfit Shropshire Premier League match against Archibald Worthington, St Georges played an unregistered player against Greg Fordham, a match in which he lost 10-21.
This is in breach of rule 4 of match rules which states:
“No player shall be eligible to play in any league match or competition organised by the Premier League unless he has been officially registered with the Fixtures Secretary.”
As this rule has been broken it has been decided by the management committee that St Georges should be given the penalty laid out in rule 4 which reads:
“In the event of a club playing an unregistered player a fine of £20 will be payable to the league by the offending club. In addition the game in which the unregistered player took part shall be awarded to the opposing team 21-0 and two points deducted from the offending club.”
It does not change the match result apart from Archibald Worthington having 10 more chalks on the aggregate.
