Welcome to the Southern Ladies Evening Bowling League which was originally formed at the Shell Bowling Club [Carrington] - now extinct.

Prior to its formation, teams of ladies played on a friendly basis from Chorlton, Hale, Timperley, Northenden and Flixton, hence its title.

December 1980 gave birth to this league with 6 teams - it now comprises 9.  Competition and enthusiasm throughout the season is excellent - ie Matches, Knockout cups, Pairs and Merit etc.

New members welcome to all teams.  For more information, contact the secretaries Anne Wills and Chris Merrell.

Merit

This was played at Flixton Ex on Saturday 14 June.  We had 25 entries this year which was good and encouraging.  We were made welcome by Rose and her team who put on an excellent buffet with some fine homebaking, we also had a brilliant raffle.  Although we had 25 entries, support from Clubs, who are not actually participating, would be welcome as this is possibly the only opportunity Host greens have to boost income.

We were let down by the promised thunderstorms and heavy rain which were NOT forthcoming and had to persevere with a day of bright sunshine instead!!  Just one shower in which a few of the players did get a drenching but soon dried off and enjoyed the rest of the day. 

Bowling throughout the day was excellent.  We had some very tight games as you will see from the Competition Sheet on the Web.  Big green and just one shout for 38 metre mark. 

Making it to the semis were Margaret Procter and Chris Merrell - 21-16, Jay Clarke and Liz Keiher - 21-10, (interesting to note there were three from the Bowling Green in the semis!!).  Congratulations to the two worthy finalists Margaret and Jay - 21-14.  Both played consistently well all day and it was a truly exciting final both making the most of the big green!!  Congratulations to Margaret Procter  a worthy 2025 Merit Winner.
