MANCHESTER UNITY TRIPLES LEAGUE<br />

The name <strong>of</strong> the League comes from The Oddfellows Society, as they are the<br />

sponsors. The League operates across county borders with <strong>Berkshire</strong> and<br />

Oxfordshire involved, and currently consists <strong>of</strong> Burghfield, Goring, Harwell,<br />

Henley, Hurst, Palmer Park, Pangbourne, Peppard, Shiplake and the University <strong>of</strong><br />

Reading.<br />

Matches normally consist <strong>of</strong> 5 mixed triples (except at Goring where the green only allows<br />

for 3 rinks).<br />

Two points are awarded for each winning rink, and two points for the winning overall score,<br />

giving a total <strong>of</strong> twelve points per match.<br />

When played at Goring three points are awarded for each winning rink and 3 points for the<br />

overall winning score.<br />

Since the year 2000, there has also been an additional “Officers” friendly competition for the<br />

“Millenium Cup”.<br />

Each club provides a triple and teams are created on the basis (loosely) <strong>of</strong> North <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Thames versus South.<br />

The rink with the highest winning margin on the winning team collects the trophy.<br />
