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:
The current league tables for all four divisions at the conclusion of the season - the first in many seasons with no game cancelled anywhere due to the weather - is included below. Acorns are champions of Division 4 and will play alongside Stags and Eagles next year: Stags finished the season in a highly respectable third, just five points off promotion, on the back of 11 wins; Eagles in seventh but safe from relegation. In Division 1, Lions finished in sixth place in a very competitive mid-table mini-league with eight wins.
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 Wednesday 3 September, starting at 5.30.
