WATCHET Skittles League Premier Division League champions Bell All Stars begin the defence of their title this winter with a home match against last season’s Division A runners up White Horse Stallions while Division A champions Rebels have a home game against Q C Guys.

In Division A last season’s Division B champions Barn Owls have a local derby against stablemates Outsiders with Division B runners up Dungbeetles at home against Has Beens.

With the Haddon Hillbillies returning to the league after a year’s absence Division B has nine teams meaning each side has a bye week. The two teams relegated from Division A Wyndham Warriors (previously Dark Horses) open with a home game against Quantock Stags while Rams have an away match against returning Haddon Hillbillies.
