Guilsfield Participation
Guilsfield members play in all three SVIBC Afternoon Leagues as individual SVIBC members.
Matches on the first two weeks - weeks beginning 6th October and 13th October - will be a practice game. The Leagues proper start in the week beginning 20th October and run through to the week beginning 16th February 2026 with a three week break over Christmas. Semi-finals and Finals are played in the week beginning 23rd March 2026.
Each session will be £4 - please give to skip before start of play.
Each team has four identified members:
-
For the first two practice weeks we will be playing rinks so that everyone gets a game.
-
For the 16 match weeks we will be playing 3 wood triples. So, while each team has four identified players, each player will play for three weeks out of four. Each team will agree a rota, sort out holidays etc. and will swap dates as necessary so that everyone is scheduled to play in 12 league matches.
On a 'rest' day you can choose to play as a pool player. No pool player can play skip.
If you are not available when you are due to play, please inform your skip in plenty of time to allow them to arrange a player from the pool.
All team members should play 14 games overall.
For convenience the match schedule is repeated below. For match results and league table standing please refer to the corresponding SVIBC website pages:
