Welcome to the Malpas Seniors Bowling League Results site.
This is an over 60's afternoon bowling league with most league matches played on Wednesday afternoons at 2pm.
This season we are trialling a different bowling format. We will have 3 Divisions of 8 teams and we will play a mix of league singles and league doubles matches. We will start the season on 3rd April with standard singles matches for 7 weeks. Week 8 is reserved for the Colin Paxton 1 qualifier (see below). The next 7 weeks will be the reverse fixtures for the singles followed by the Colin Paxton 2 qualifier.
Then, starting on the 24th July we will have 7 weeks of team doubles matches. These will either be home OR away depending on how the computer draws the fixtures.
There will be no reverse fixtures.
There will be NO Thursday knock-out doubles this year. The league doubles matches will compete for the trophies usually awarded for knock out doubles. If you want to see this pictorially it is under the link called 2024 Format or you can click here.
In addition to the above league matches there are 3 individual competitions. The Colin Paxton, mentioned above, which is a draw for partners doubles competition and
The Ann Guinney Cup - Individual Singles (Ladies).
The Dick Allen Cup - Individual Singles (Gents).

Wed 22nd May
16 hardy souls braved the rain and an absolutely dreadful weather forecast to turn up at Farndon full of optimism for the Colin Paxton 1 competition. Their optimism was not misplaced. The green was in wondeful condition and was running beautifully. So inspite of getting a bit wet, matches were able to go ahead.
Matches were played as far as the last 2 pairs. This match is now carried forward to Finals Day when it becomes a sem-final in the overall Colin Paxton Competition. The second semi-final will come from the Paxton 2 competition which is due to be played on 17th July. Remember unusually, if you didn't get through today, you can enter and try again in the Paxton 2.
Today's lucky qualifiers were: Dot Charlesworth and her partner Dick Franks and Bryn Jones and his partner Ian Williams.
Thanks to Farndon for hosting, to Chris Nevitt for organising things at her end and to the ladies who made cakes and scones.

We are sorry to report that Malpas BC&I have decided to withdraw their B team from Division 3. All of their fixtures have been converted into a bye. We are sorry to see them go and hope to be able to welcome them back sometime in the future.

A few people are already looking ahead to the doubles part of the season and have been asking about fixtures. We have therefore asked the computer to do its thing and the doubles fixtures have now been produced. There will be no need for morning matches during the doubles part of the season as Garden Village B and Garden Village C are going to share the green for their home matches with each match having 2 jacks on the green simultaneously. Matches will start at 2pm and the away team will have the jack as normal.
