Kingsley Stafford Trophy Result

Keith Fantom (Romiley) won the Kingsley Stafford Trophy for the second time defeating Alan Sidebottom (Etherow) 21-17 in the final. Keith was 5-14 and looked down and out but some great corner bowling resulted in him winning the title at Glossop's North Road green.
Loosing semi-finalists were Phil Homer (Romiley) who was defeated by Alan 21-13 and Martin Hodson (Chadderton) who was defeated by Keith 21-19.

Welcome to our web site for crown green bowling in North Derbyshire.  Our aim is to promote the game in our area while providing information for all the local leagues and clubs.
We feel that the future of crown green bowling involves utilising the web to promote the game and along with many other web sites our mission is to be the source of local bowling information.

Please check out the Club pages.  I aim to display club related information on these pages rather than on the main news page.  All club info can be sent to me for adding to the site.  As an example check out the Glossop club page.
