Welcome to the Southport & District Vets Bowling Results

 

 

CUP COMPETITIONS - SEMI FINALS

The draw for the Semi Finals (25th August) round can now be seen on the 2025 Competition Results page. Handicaps for these games will be added based on games played up to and including Monday 18th August. (Any rearranged gamed played between the 18 and 25 August will not count in the handicap). As per agreed at the AGM, away teams  will automatically have the + 10 additional handicap points added into the handicaps as shown on the match card.  

Hoole A and Hoole B are both drawn at home in the semi finals, so Hoole B v Sandbrook A to play at 1030am.

Any questions, please contact George Hitchmough, Secretary.

RESULTS RECORD KEEPING

The use of computer web sites for bowling results entry is a wonderful thing, however things can go wrong. Those of you who play in the Westhead and Aughton leagues, and any others which use the Bowlsnet web site, may be aware that during this season there was a catastrophic loss of all data for this season, and I believe that all results to date for all users of Bowlsnet have had to be re-entered.

Can I therefore remind captains that they must keep a full record of results for the current season so that in the unlikely occurrence of the same situation with our league, we are in a position to recover and re-enter all results.
