MAGHULL LEAGUE – HESKETH SPARROWHAWKS
Congratulations to the Sparrowhawks on finishing runners-up in Division 2 of the Maghull Monday Night League. Captained by John Townsend, the team won an impressive 15 games out of 20, which was actually one more than champions Brooklands.
BURSCOUGH LEAGUE – HESKETH VULTURES
The Vultures had another impressive season in the Burscough & Lathom Bowling League. At the end of the league campaign, having finished in 3rd place in the 1st Division, they put up a staunch defence of the Knockout Trophy they won in 2023. As holders, they had to concede an extra ten chalks on the handicap but despite this, comfortably overcame Bretherton ‘B’, Croston Black Horse, and Longton VM ‘B’ to reach the final.
Their opponents in the final were champions Bretherton ‘A’ but despite the teams having four winners each, they had to settle for being runners-up. Congratulations to captain Chris Harding and his team on another excellent season competing at the top level of one of best leagues in the area.
