If you like bowls then head to Birchwood Tennis and Leisure Complex and join the ‘Warrington Indoor Long Mat Bowling League!’
The league officially launched on Monday 10th October as an alternative to crown green bowling which takes a weather break over the winter period and is the first long mat club in the town.Cllr Kate Hannon, (Lab, Orford), executive board member for leisure, community and culture at the council opened the league by bowling the first bowl this week.

Cllr Hannon said: “I know that bowlers are passionate about their sport and probably find the winter months frustrating when they can’t play. This new partnership will mean that they can now bowl all year round, keep active and also enjoy the social side at the same time.
Leisure Warrington are making best use of the facilities in Birchwood in delivering another sporting opportunity to a totally different group of users.”Bowling takes place twice a week on a Monday afternoon and a Friday evening but given the immediate demand this may increase in the near future. Both teams and individuals welcome, contact John Kirkham on 01925 764772 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for more information.
