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.
Merit competition
The Merit (for both Monday and Wednesday leagues) was scheduled for bank holiday Monday, 26 May. However only eight entries have been received to date, from three clubs. If more clubs had been represented, the competition might just be viable with this entry. As it is, the entry represents only a small proportion of the league membership.
The Merit will not therefore be run this year.
At the AGM we should review the decision to plan it for a bank holiday.
Floodlights
Three 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).
- Beech House
- Flixton Conservative
The lights at the Roebuck are now operational again.

2024 Season
With the conclusion of the 2024 season, it's all change on Mondays. Flixton Cricket resume their historical dominance, winning both league and cup (team photo on the knock-out page).
On Wednesdays there was again a clean sweep in Division 1 for Roebuck. Division 2 was won by last year's relegated team Legh Arms, who bounce back up. The second division knock-out was marred by three teams scratching. Goldenhill Park won four matches to win the trophy (which they last won in 2019). They also had the averages winner in Dave Appleton:

The minutes of the 2024 annual general meeting are now available.
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.
