“Super League” proposal thrown out at Birkenhead League A.G.M.

The proposal for a “Super League” of six teams was voted out at last nights Birkenhead League A.G.M. at Port Sunlight. The proposal, made by Upton and seconded by Thingwall, gained little support among the delegates as various arguments about the merits of limited competition, lack of ambition and the fact that the six teams involved would only play on five other greens throughout the season, were put to the meeting. Ted Sullivan, Chairman of Wirral Crown Green Bowling Association, was also concerned about the Sansom Cup, if the proposal gained favour.
Cec Hannay was presented with various mementoes to mark his outstanding acheivement of 40 years service as Secretary of the Birkenhead League. A suitably embarrassed Cec was for once lost for words for a few moments as he was given a standing ovation by the all the delegates present.
