This season: General: Admin: |
Welcome to the Knutsford Friday Bowling League which was formed in 1978. The unchanged aim of the league is to encourage new bowlers in conjunction with a social evening. The mixed league is affiliated to The Cheshire County Bowling Association and plays under British Crown Green rules with 8 players in each team and games are played on Friday evenings. All greens of the member clubs are within a 9 mile radius of the centre of Knutsford. The league consists of two divisions consisting of 12 teams in each division, at the discretion of the Committee. Annually we hold Individual, Pairs, Mixed Pairs and the Jack Brynning (triples) handicapped competitions. The site is updated by the League Secretary but credits for the site go to Ross Kavanagh the webmaster

Competitions 2025Individual: To be held at the Railway on Sunday 8th June 2025 - refreshments at the bar Entries to be submitted by Sunday18th May please. "The best competition ever" - "Don't want it to end" - "Never laughed so much" What a great day!!!!! Thanks to everyone at the Railway for feeding and watering us, to Dennis for a great green and importantly to everyone who participated in the competion. The event was absolutely in keeping with the ethos of the KFBL, much encouragement, humour and friendliness was shown all day, non more so than in the final - but more of that below. We watched some very close matches with lots of excellent bowling, endured a few torrential showers which certainly didn't dampen our spirits, just our clothes and most folks stayed to the bitter end to support their mates. The results can be seen on the home page under the Individaul Competition tab, but special mention must be made of our 4 splendid semi-finalists - very well done to Sean, Kate, Sandra and Tony. Sean and Sandra emerged as worthy finalists and entertained us all with great bowling, slapstick and pure enjoyment of the game and made the final into one which will take some beating as a spectacle. The laughter, cheers, well intentioned boos and applause from the crowd was something to behold and will be talked about for many years to come. NB Sean and Sandra are now best mates (sorry Brian) and talking of forming a partnership in the forthcoming comps so we all need to watch out. Pairs: To be held at Chelford on Sunday 6th July 2025 - refreshments will be available Entries to be submitted by Sunday 22nd June 2025 please. Yet another great day. Huge thanks to Chelford Bowling Club for hosting the day and looking after us all so well, the refreshments were outstanding, and the organisation brilliant. To ensure that these events run smoothly, so much preparation is done behind the scenes, so thanks to you all. Despite the frequent and heavy showers, there were many smily faces and much laughter. The bowling was very enjoyable with some very close ends and many near misses causing sharp intakes of breath. The banter from around the green supported the "friendly" Friday bowling atmosphere again and we all look forward to the Mixed Pairs at the Church Inn. Today both finalists bowled really well throughout and treated us to a well fought match. The full results are posted on the Home Page and show that Tom and Sean beat Mark and Tracey 21 - 12. We offered the opportunity for the unlucky first round losers to join in a "spur of the moment" knockout competition which was well received, with many suggestions that this become a regular feature of our competiton days. Richard and Matthew Owen defeated Brian Nield and Lorenzo Ordonez in the first semifinal and went on to overcome Chris Russell and Glenise Barnett in the final. Pauline Lee and Neil Edmonds were the other losing semifinalists - thanks to everyone who joined in.
