Due to the extreme weather forecast for tomorrow evening and to keep everyone safe it has been decided to postpone all 4 matches planned for Thursday evening. These fixtures have been rescheduled for Thursday 27 August. A message has been sent to the captains involved and the league reps but if you know anyone affected please pass the message on. Thank you.

A big thank you to everyone who attended Betty's funeral, all the lovely cards and messages of condolence and support.

Betty would have been so pleased to see all the bowlers from different clubs paying their respects at the crematorium. The Guard of Honour by the East End ladies was also very much appreciated by the family.

Thank you everyone.

Marian and Betty's family.

A great finals day for the Mayoress' Trophy with no rain.

The winner was Kath Lee from Lowther Gardens and runner-up was Christine Toft from Hope Street after a very closely run 21-19 game. Well done to both ladies for a great final.

Thank you for everyone who played, supported and generally helped out this week and thank you to East End for hosting and keeping everyone fed and watered.

Clarifying what should happen for any players that have not yet played this season and are on a zero aggregate.

For this season, please could all captains play these players at number eight position.

Many Thanks and good luck to all - hope you are all enjoying the season so far :-)

Ladies, the season is about to start and one match was played early due to a clash of greens with the men's league. The result was Freckleton B 8 v Lytham 2. On the advice of the NLFCBA, this result will not appear on online bowls until its scheduled July date in order that the numbers of games played remain level for the purposes of tables and league merits etc.

The rest of us start next week and here's hoping for dry nights and some enjoyable and friendly matches. Have fun everyone!
