The Sale and Urmston Bowling Association was founded in 2022 from a merger of the Sale & District Bowling League and the Urmston & District Bowling Association.
We run two leagues playing in the evenings: on Mondays for teams of ten and on Wednesdays for teams of eight.
Historical records for the predecessor leagues can be found via the links on the left.
Rules Revision meeting
The minutes of the rules revision meeting held on 28 November are now available.
There was one proposal: to reduce the team size on Mondays to eight, which was rejected.
2023 Season
With the conclusion of the 2023 season, it's congratulations again to Roebuck: winners of both the Monday and Wednesday leagues, and also both team knockouts. Team photos are on the knockout pages.
Also congratulations to Davyhulem Social, winners of Division on Wednesdays.

Brooklands
Due to the state of the Brooklands green, the club will play their remaining home matches at Northen Etchells BC. This green is in Hollyhedge Park, on Hollyhedge Road, Wythenshawe, M22 4GP. The location is on the Green finder. It does not have floodlights.
Matches affected are:
- 5 July v Sale Excel
- 9 Aug v Beech House (6.30pm start)
- 6 Sep v Legh Arms (6.30pm start - round 1 of the cup)
Plus possible further rounds of the knock-out.
Monday Merit
There was only one entry for this competition, which has been cancelled.
Trophies
Both the Sale and Urmston leagues had amassed a collection of trophies, more than they needed individually and certainly too many for the new association. There is a web page listing what we have. Some of them may have historical or sentimental interest, but to whom? Some may have significant value as bullion.
Suggestions for the future use of these trophies are welcome.
If anybody knows the whereabouts of yet more trophies, please contact the secretary.
Direct entry user names
Clubs that play on both Mondays and Wednesdays were issued with two user names, and corresponding passwords. You can now use either user name (with its corresponding password) for matches on either night.
Floodlights
Two greens report problems with their floodlights. Matches at these venues should start at 6.30pm in April (especially Monday matches; we can be a bit more relaxed towards the end of April on Wednesdays).
