Following an incredible response, we’re delighted to reveal the draw for the NIWPGL Mixed Pairs competition.

An amazing 81 pairs have entered, all aiming to make history as the inaugural champions — a fantastic milestone for the league.

It’s brilliant to see such strong representation from clubs across the membership, and the level of interest in the first year has been outstanding. This is a hugely positive step for mixed bowls and something that’s been long overdue.

With players competing alongside and against World, European, British and Irish champions, there’s no shortage of quality on show.

There are some cracking ties in both the preliminary and first rounds — this is one you won’t want to miss! Why not head down to your club and cheer on your teammates.

Best of luck to everyone taking part.
