2019/2020 League results
As a result of the 'lockdown' there were a number of matches that remained outstanding. At the time of the lockdown it was decided to extend the cut-off date to 31 July in the hopes that there would be an opportunity to resolve the issue. Sadly this has not proved to be he case and the current restrictions will not allow any competitive games.
The SHAW league, like many others were in the same position, but 2 of their members designed a mathematical methodology using probabilities to resolve the problem. This is known as the Sims/Walker model. We were able to use this system to create results for all the outstanding matches and so complete the season. We are very grateful to Matt Sims for his very valuable assistance in helping us do this.

The teams concerned are:
