| Dunfermline Tuesday League (Jim Dodds Trophy) |
The Dunfermline Tuesday League for the Jim Dodds Trophy will be held on Tuesday 4 November and Tuesday 2 December. The competition is open to club members. The format this year has been cut from three consecutive months, to two months. Players are expected to be available for both nights and the format is teams of four (two sets of partners) playing against other teams. Substitute players will be sought to cater for unforseen, late cancellations.
We have 14 pairs as shown below, which makes 7 teams that will be drawn on the night.
Dave & Wendy; Sandy & Sheila P; Sue & Jane; Patsy & John; Nicola & Fiona, Ian & Agnes; John S & Bill; Jane R & Margaret; Andrew & Roy; Susan & Brenda; Betty & John; Struthers & Irene, Gertrud & Bob R and Averil & Pat.
After the first round, the team of John & Betty / Fiona & Nicola are narrowly ahead of Roy & Andrew / Bob R & Gertrud, with another two teams in shouting distance so it's still in the melting pot.
