Important League Announcement

Bar 51 – Premiership Division

Bar 51 have officially withdrawn from the Premiership. The team advised the League that they were unable to field a full side each week, and as a result have folded.

In accordance with League policy, this situation is classed as a “special circumstance.” Therefore, all remaining registered Bar 51 players are eligible to transfer to another team immediately.

Team Captains and/or players who wish to sign for another team should email registrations with the relevant details so transfers can be processed correctly.

Pairs & Individuals – Eligibility

Players who have already competed in the Pairs or Individuals competitions while registered with Bar 51 will be allowed to continue in those competitions. Because the team has folded under special circumstances, their entries remain valid and they do not need to withdraw or restart.

The Bobby Peel venue has now closed. The team previously based there will now play from:

The Band Club
