Deep River Horseshoe League Ready for 68th Season


The Deep River Horseshoe League (DRHL) will hold its 68th season this year. The DRHL will host league play at 5 p.m. every Thursday beginning on April 27, at Deep River’s “unofficial green” adjacent to the First Congregational Church, 1 Church Street, Deep River. The league is open for men and women of all ages.

The DRHL has 18 teams that compete on nine pits. Each team features three players from each of the A, B, and C Divisions and plays six matches per week.

The objective is to toss the shoe around or within six inches of a metal stake from 40 feet away. Putting the shoe around the stake (ringer) is worth three points, and getting it within six inches is worth one point. Each game consists of 12 frames, after which the scores are totaled at the end. The season ends in August, with the top eight teams competing for the league championship.
