The Coleman and Milne  Bowling League was formed to take over from a struggling papermakers Bowling League. The Papermakers League started in the early 1900's for paper mills all over the north west. When the laegue was struggling for teams the league adopted the 6 singles and 2 doubles format. In 2015 there were only 6 teams so the committee decided to call it a day.  It was a shame to dissolve the league after all the history so Rick Riley and Dave Farnworth decided to take it on. After contacting Charles Sorry who worked for Coleman and Milne Ltd he sorted sponsorship from them for the new bowling league. They have sponsored the league since 2016 which is appreciated by all who play in the league. There are 10 teams in the league with over 100 players who like the format of the league and enjoy playing in it.
