Whitchurch & District League
Andover Bowling Club is a founder member of this league, formed originally in 1934.
The league, which has an open format, encompasses clubs in the Basingstoke, Winchester and Andover envelope and is based on four divisions. The league is subject to relegation and promotion of the bottom two teams in each higher division and the top two teams in each lower one
Matches are triples, with each taking place across three rinks. Matches last 18 ends and are played on Wednesday evenings, all with a start time of 6.15.
The full rules of the league can be found here.
Andover Bowling Club fields four teams, each having their own dedicated page which you can access either via the menu on the banner above below the picture; or otherwise via the following links for each of our teams:
A new .pdf with the current league tables for all four divisions is awaited following the Week 17 results which are, however, detailed below. Acorns are champions of Division 4 and will play alongside Stags and Eagles next year: sadly, Stags' hopes of promotion to Division 2 disappeared with a loss last night at home to Littleton Lemurs and will finish the season in a highly respectable third. Eagles had no game this week but, as a result of results elsewhere sank back to seventh but could finish in fourth. Lions remain fifth in Division 1 and, with one game to go, are likely to finish no lower but could rise as high as third.
Spencer Trophy
In addition, the Spencer Trophy was presented in memory of Derek C Spencer by his wife, Chris, both successful bowlers at the Club. It is competed for annually by our teams in the Whitchurch and District League in a variety of formats on a points basis. This year's competition will take place on Wenesday 3 September.
