Promotion limits for Premier League

by admin on August 22, 2018

Following discussion at Fixtures & Events, Bowls Management and Board meetings and after consultation through the President’s and Ladies Forums, limitations on club representation at Premier League level will be put in place this season.
For the 2019/20 season clubs will only be permitted to have one (1) side in Tuesday Ladies and Saturday Men’s Premier League competitions.
The reasoning for this change is to protect the future integrity of the competitions; noting that this coming season six of the ten Ladies Premier League clubs have Division 1 White sides, presenting a potentially poor outcome for the year’s ahead, should a number of those teams gain promotion.
This mirrors the position of other states and territories and other sporting codes.
To accommodate this change a different promotional structure has been put in place for the coming season. This has been communicated to affected clubs and will be included in the monthly mail out to the balance of metropolitan clubs on Wednesday.
