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 .pdf with the current league tables for all four divisions is in the link at the bottom of the page, as are the Week 5 results for all the teams in all four divisions (NB Stags' shots for-against and points difference is subject to change as a result of an incorrect recording of the match score v St. Mary Bourne Merlins). After five rounds, Acorns are top of Division 4 with a 4-pont advantage over Friary in second; Stags are in second in Division 3 behind Marnell Jades, while Eagles have had a tough start to the campaign. In Division 1, Lions are handily placed in third, having played a game fewer than the top two.
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.
