Stan Hardman League

This league was set up in the 1980s, and games take place on a Thursday afternoon, all with a start-time of 2.00 pm.

Matches consist of mixed triples and each takes place on three rinks. There must be at least one woman and one man playing on each rink.

The league consists of 32 teams equally divided into four groups established on a broadly geographical basis. Andover plays in Area 4, with clubs largely from the north and west of the area from Aldermaston down to Whitchurch; and Andover across to Oakley and Basingstoke.

The top two teams in each area qualify for the knock-out stage for the Shield; with the third and fourth placed teams qualifying for the knock-out stage for the Plate. The full rules for the 2026 season can be found in the attachment below..

In 2026, our Stan Hardman team is once again captained by Jo Brambley. The team finished the 2025 season in 6th place; and had some notable results, including a 7-0 home and away double against one team.
