Congratulations to the Hesketh Hawks, captained by George Hitchmough, on winning the 3rd Division of the Aughton Men’s Senior Citizens League, finishing a clear 14 points ahead of 2nd placed Crossens.
MAGHULL LEAGUE KNOCKOUT CUP
Commiserations to our mixed Monday night team on losing in the Maghull League’s 4th Division Cup final. Despite wins by Jeff Brown (21-10) and Bill Nowell (21-18), the team were defeated by neighbours Crossens at the Northern Club. Well done to Sue Davies and all the team on reaching the final and having enjoyed a successful league season, finishing in at least 3rd place in their division.
FRIENDLY V. EMMANUEL BOWLING CLUB
The third annual friendly match with our friends from Emmanuel Bowling Club took place in August and resulted in a 9-4 win for the Hesketh Arms team, thus retaining the Challenge Shield we won last year.
Thanks are due to Alan and Jill Lloyd for allowing us to use the Churchtown Conservative Club for the post-match hospitality and for their help in providing the pie and peas.
We look forward to the re-match next year for what has become an enjoyable addition to the Club’s busy calendar of bowling.
