FH Trophy

Fred Holden Trophy

Groups

Results and Draw

The Fred Holden Trophy, a handicapped competition held in honour of the man who probably did more for this league than any other player in its history, will be run as usual in groups.

All the groups are listed below and these will be run as small leagues with each team playing the other teams in their group once, if there are only two teams in a group they play each other home and away. The top team in each group when all matches are finished then goes into the knock-out stage, this then continues down to the final.

Before each round the handicaps for every player will be updated. If you lose a match don’t start moaning that so and so has got your handicap wrong, remember your handicap is directly linked to the current form in the league, it could be that you played below par or your opponent played exceptionally well. Also note that players must have played in at least six league games to be eligible to play in the cup semi finals, a point overlooked by a couple of teams a few seasons ago with disastrous consequences.

Also note that in the preliminary round teams must play with three players unless there are only two teams in the group, cancelled matches must be played the following week. Matches cannot be claimed or given during the preliminary round.
