As does the Northern, 16th for us too

**Craigyno1** · 28-03-2011 07:19 AM

The league champs unfurl the Division 1 winners flags on the 16th as well!

**James Connolly** · 28-03-2011 10:31 AM

I think most greens in Midlothian are opening on the 9th April, due to the Esk League starting on Friday 22nd April (too early in the season IMO).

Im sure there was one year we opened the Jewel green on the Sat & played our first league game the following Friday ..cant remember the reason..either we opened a week later or there were more teams in the league..whatever reason that was crap as we had no time to get used to our green ..

Still think we won the league that year though .

**~~MSK~~** · 06-04-2011 08:26 AM

Hope the bloody weather improves before Sat ..

**fiolex1** · 09-04-2011 12:24 PM

Loanhead Private opening today, always opens the weekend of the national, looks like sun, bowls and drink today.

I think you have knocked it off with opening on Saturday there Kenny. Forecast for this weekend has changed from light showers to RAIN

Had a good day Kenny, and not a bad turnout either. Delighted to see the latest member of the Northern Hibees making his debut at the club and hope he enjoyed himself.
I can't say I was looking forward to the bowling season this year but after Saturday (and yesterday's result with the Hibees) I'm beginning to get more interested again.

Has your sand pit of a green got any better yet?

Good to hear you're in the u25 team this year, did you's lose many players from last year? We're playing you in the last game this year, more than likely will be the decider for the section.

Jewel 6 v Musselburgh private 2

Good solid team this year with 25 players signed up, good considering we went from the 5th div to the 2nd div with no more than 14/15 players ..

Tough game v Rosslyn away next Friday ..

***Scouse Hibee*** · 30-04-2011 08:21 PM

Good start for defending champions

Currie last night, 7-2 win at home to Fountain. My rink two shots down with one end to play and we nicked a three to win it! We were just holding on all game so felt we stole victory really but hey ho that's bowls for you

its 100x better than last year bud still a million miles away from being good though

problem is i still couldn't get in the u25 team

i mean district champion and quarter finals at ayr seems to count for nothing in east lothian haha! they won by 20ish shots today and im in the team for next weekend..

midlothian i fancy will play a big part in the section this term!

Aye, I heard that last night. Good to hear you're in for next weekend.

I don't think they will, they've not got the quality at back end imo. Take it you play mid next week? We won by about 40 yesterday, my rink was 1 up but I don't know how because we all played terrible.
