CUP COMPETITIONS

The draw for the Prelim (30th June) and Quarter Final (28th July) rounds can now be seen on the 2025 Competition Results page. Handicaps will be added after the games played on the Mondays prior to the cup rounds. (NOW ADDED FOR THE PRELIMS ROUND). As per agreed at the AGM, away teams  have the + 10 additional handicap points already included in the handicaps as shown on the match card.  

In Div 2, Scarisbrick NSC A and B are both at home in the Prelims, so the B team game v Ainsdale B will commence at 1030.

In Div 3, both Victoria Park B and C (and also A) teams are drawn at home in the Prelims. Victoria Park B v Botanic Elders, and Victoria Park C v Botanic A. One of these games will need to start at 1030.

Any questions, please contact George Hitchmough, Secretary.

RESULTS RECORD KEEPING

The use of computer web sites for bowling results entry is a wonderful thing, however things can go wrong. Those of you who play in the Westhead and Aughton leagues, and any others which use the Bowlsnet web site, may be aware that during this season there was a catastrophic loss of all data for this season, and I believe that all results to date for all users of Bowlsnet have had to be re-entered.

Can I therefore remind captains that they must keep a full record of results for the current season so that in the unlikely occurrence of the same situation with our league, we are in a position to recover and re-enter all results.
