We will be running the same club winter bowls programme as last year consisting of Winter Singles Leagues and Winter Singles Ladder starting in October.

Winter Singles Leagues

Leagues have an average of 10-12 players.

Leagues aim to have players of similar standards 

Everyone plays each other once

Everyone arranges the game and records the results through a WhatsApp group 

3 points for a win, 1 point if you lose but score 15 or more 

Games played between October and end of March

Winter Singles Ladder

Everyone who enters has their name and handicap score put on a clothes peg

Everyone on the ladder is in a WhatsApp group 

Games arranged through WhatsApp 

Players can basically play anyone else on the group. The winner moves their peg up three places

The rules on who players can challenge change in March

The top two players at the end of March play a deciding final for the trophy

(Full rules are in the clubhouse on the winter noticeboard)

There will also be a winter singles knockout and pairs knockout. More information will be circulated about how to enter these competitions in November. 

Steve James and Dave Roper will administer all of the winter bowling competitions, leagues and ladders. 

If you wish to join the leagues, ladder or both please e-mail ormskirkbowlingclub2013@gmail.com quoting which one/s you want to enter and your smartphone number. You will need to be agreeable to joining a WhatsApp group for communication.

We ask members to register their interest by the end of September please. It will be too late to enter the singles leagues after this date. 

Good luck to all entrants and we hope you enjoy your Winter Bowling.
