SJB A v Donn Wd A - The Decision
Delegates at the League's May management committee
meeting on Tuesday 2nd May considered the issue of the Sir John Bayley A
v Donnington Wood A fixture in division 1 on Friday 21st April that was
not played.
Following a meeting of League officers held in advance, they were asked to consider 2 options:
1
– Implement the whole of rule 8 and fine Donnington Wood £60 and award
the fixture to Sir John Bayley A. They would receive 10 points and plus
120 on aggregate while Donnington Wood would be deducted 5 points and
have 252 taken from their aggregate total.
2 – Fine Donnington
Wood £60 for failure to fulfil the fixture and order the game to be
replayed. The re-arranged date must be before the end of June (ie before
the halfway point of the season) and decided solely by Sir John Bayley -
with Donnington Wood given no choice in the matter. And Gavin Taylor is
NOT allowed to attend or take any part in the new fixture – UNLESS his
lifetime ban from the premises of the Sir John Bayley Club is lifted in
the interim.
There
were NO votes in favour of option 1 and those that voted were all in
favour of option 2 - the general feeling of the meeting that delegate
and their clubs want to see the fixture actually played. |
