Uckfield Bowls Club - 2023 Results
The tables below show the full fixtures and results for the Uckfield Bowls Club 2023 season. For full information, please refer to the main Fixtures and Results page.
Uckfield Bowls Club belongs to three leagues. These are identified in the tables using the following abbreviations:
MSL = Mid Sussex League; JSL = John Spriggs League; HL = Horam League. NS = Nicholas Soames Trophy (Australian Pairs).
However, note that Uckfield BC will not be taking part in the Nicholas Soames Trophy in the 2023 season.
Fred King Day is an annual Open Triples tournament hosted by Uckfield BC, with 16 teams from other clubs taking part.
The John McWhirter Shield (JMS) is an annual event played with Hellingly BC at the end of each season, in memory of John McWhirter who had been a valued and active member of both clubs.
Other abbreviations used in the tables are:
H = Home, A = Away, R/T = Rinks or Triples (or P=Pairs) matches,
W or G = Dress code (Whites or Greys), or C (Casual).
With respect to results, "Won", "Lost" and "Draw" are obvious; Abnd = Abandoned, Ppnd = Postponed, Canc = Cancelled and W/O = Walkover.
Postponed games played at a later date will have their result added to the original fixture entry, with an additional explanatory note.
'For' and 'Against' scores for League matches also indicate league points, in brackets. For example, 50 (6) indicates 50 shots total and 6 league points.
Mid Sussex League and John Spriggs League matches total 10 league points: 2 points for each winning rink, plus 4 points for the greater total score.
Horam & District League matches total
8 league points:
1 point for each winning triple, plus
4 points for the greater total score.
At times it may be necessary
to add extra notes or make changes to listed fixtures, and where this happens, an asterisk ( * ) will be inserted in the results table alongside the "Home / Away" entry (for example, H* or A*) to indicate an extra note in the "Additional Notes" section at the end of the tables.
The PCW (Peter Cameron-Waller) Friendship Trophy is played on most Thursday evenings during the season. All members are welcome.
