Ernie Woodcock Final

Ernie Woodcock Trophy Final

On Monday 15th August our Kendal League B Team played in the final of the Ernie Woodcock Trophy on Kendal Victoria’s green.

To reach the final the B Team had fought of opposition from Hawkshead, Burton-in-Lonsdale, and our own Heversham A Team. Unfortunately the run of success did not extend to the final match of the Trophy when the B Team, despite giving of their best, lost 5 – 1 to Springfield. Springfield also won the aggregate by 110 – 76 giving them a 6 – 1 win. Many thanks to all those who played for the team in the various heats and to the supporters who turned up on the night.

Leasgill Trophy 2022

Leasgill Trophy

On a baking afternoon on Sunday 14th August eighteen Club members gathered to compete for the Leasgill trophy. Given the ferocity of the heat and the humidity some members expressed gratitude that they were out in the first round and didn’t have to go on the green again – mmmm! Congratulations to those who battled on through several rounds: they not only showed their skill at bowling but also great stamina. It was so hot that some members spent the afternoon serving cold water and refreshments to those on the green.
