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.

Pairs competition

The Pairs competition will be run this year as a one-day event, on Sunday, 2 August, starting at 1.30pm at Flixton Cricket Club. This is open to players from both leagues. If both players are active in the Wednesday second division they will receive +5 (+3 if only one of them is a second division player).

Entries are limited to the first 16 pairs received. If entries exceed 16, later entrants will be informed of their position in the queue and if withdrawals give them a prospect of being accepted.

Both entrants of a pair must have played four league games (across the two leagues) before 2 August. They need not be from the same club.

There are currently 15 entries. They are:

Helen Murray and Marilyn Murray (Partington)
Don Comerford and Paul Gallagher (Partington)
Colin Rothwell and Nicci Rothwell (Sale Excel)
Alex Mitchell and Derek Stubbs (SW Manchester CC and Sale Excel)
Ursula Brewell and Estelle Johnston (Goldenhill Park)
Geoff Leck and Shaun Leck (Davyhulme Social)
Les Hylton and Alan Mooney (Chorlton)
Paul Keeling and Matt Partridge (Flixton Cons)
Dominic Porter and Philip Porter (Flixton Cons)
Graham Harrison and Steve Sharp (Flixton Cons)
Chris Cox and Steve Davies (Beech House)
Graham Price and Derek Wilkinson (Flixton Cricket)
Matthew Farrell and Mark Wakelin (Humphrey Park)
Alistair Edge and Michael Nelson (Sale Excel and Mersey Valley)
Dan Crowder and Steve Crowder (Roebuck)

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
• Flixton Ex-servicemen's

The lights at the Roebuck are now operational again.

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.
