Rules: This season: |
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 12. 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 secretary, Jackie Goodwin. |
AveragesThe Averages Competition was held on Saturday 2nd September at Flixton Cricket Club. Everything about the day was good, excellent in fact (especially the weather), buffet, raffle and service with a smile from Pauline, a lovely lady who watches all our home games, who volunteered to help. With only five helpers the team put themselves out to make the day the success it was (sounds like I am blowing our own trumpet, but credit given where credit is due to our team. Excellent bowling and congratulations to all who represented their club in this prestigious competition - also having to contend with an exceptionally hot day. Reaching the semi finals were Cynthia Nuttall and Trish Day 21/12 and Ann Wills and Jennie Shone 21/13. Cynthia and Ann, both at the wilting stage, played an excellent final but Ann was on a winning and determined streak and no matter what Cynthia did, Ann was not going to let go and beat Cynthia 21/13. Well done to both players. Irene Hardy, Competitions Secretary | |

MeritThe Merit Competition was held at The Bowling Green on Saturday 24th June 2023. Unfortunately entries were poor which was disappointing. Only those present could appreciate the work put in by Margaret and her team of volunteers. The buffet was excellent (enough to feed an army) and a very good raffle. Nothing was too much trouble - they were the perfect hosts. How gratifying it was to see two young players, comparatively new, who entered this very challenging competition, namely Ashley Dollin (SWM) and Kannika Duncan (Flixton Cons). It was an extremely humid day but the players coped very well (and such a big green) with no 19 metre lengths!. Making it to the semi finals were Jackie Goodwin and Ann North 21/15 and two homesters, Margaret Procter and Linda Webb 21/7. Congratulations to the two finalists Margaret and Jackie 21/5 who reached the finals having played three tough games to reach this stage in such humid conditions. Well done.

PairsThe Pairs Competition was held on Saturday 23rd July and hosted by Flixton Cons. What started off as a very, very wet day turned out quite well weatherwise about lunchtime. Janet and her team worked hard in their preparations and put on an excellent buffet and an equally good raffle. And, I must add, all the players were very "hardy" to play in such conditions and are to be commended. Reaching the semi finals were Kate Angel/Margaret Akers (21) Jackie Goodwin/Trish Day (9) and Sue Keefe/Cynthia Nuttall (21) Jenny Shone/Barbara Williams (9). In the final, although Kate and Margaret both played excellent all day, they weren't allowed any leeway in the final, Sue and Cynthia winning 21/2. Again, thanks to all the players who played in such atrocious conditions. Irene Hardy, Competitions Secretary | |
