Congratulations to our Ormskirk team that last night won the Premier Division of the Ormskirk Bowling League. The league has been dominated by the Skelmersdale Rebels team for over 20 years but finally it all came good this year, with the 11-1 win at home a few games ago against the Rebels perhaps proving decisive. The team needed 6 points last night to take the title and things went a bit wobbly when top of the averages Aaron ‘Yorkshire Pudding’ Backhouse lost to Peter Mercer. However, that was to be the only loss and the team took the title by a whopping 8 points. This is the first time that one of our teams has won the top division of a bowling league. It has been a real team effort and much deserved. Some of the delighted faces are shown on the pictures below.

Not to be outdone our Ormskirk Castle team has romped away with the Division A title by an even more incredible 39 points! Massive congratulations to them as they join our other team in the Premier Division next year.
