Happy New Year to all members and friends! The inaugural OBN Series last year was a great learning experience, and we appreciate all the support. While some aspects worked brilliantly, others provided valuable lessons for improvement.
This year, we are inviting sponsors to submit their interest in being part of the series qualifiers and to engage more closely with their sponsored event. We are thrilled to have already secured a new sponsor for the upcoming season. If you or your business would like to be involved, please reach out to us.
SPRING LEAGUE: The timesheet is now open for the Flynn’s Bar Spring League. To enter, please log in to BRS and add your name to the timesheet by Monday, 27th of January 2025.
Teams will be selected on Sunday, 26th of January at 4 pm, with the league set to commence (weather permitting) on Monday, 27th of January and run until Sunday, 10th of March. Each week, the best five cards from each team will count towards the team’s score, including at least one lady’s card. Players may submit up to two cards per week – one main entry and one re-entry.

This league is an important fundraiser for the club during a challenging time of year, so we encourage all members to participate.
