John Hodgson Crowned 2025 Veterans League Rose Bowl Champion

Congratulations to Paul Van Leeuwen, winner of the new Wilf Hartley Veterans Trophy. Paul came through three  knock-out rounds to fight a closely contested final with Norman Raper. It proved to be a thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable afternoon for all. This new competition was established in memory of Wilf Hartley, a long and much admired Shepley bowler who's prowess on the green helped steer his 6-man team to two successive Div 1 titles. You will also find Wilf's name on some of Shepley's silverware. The beautiful new trophy was kindly gifted to the club by Wilf's daughter Clare and son-in-law Paul, who were there to present the winners' prizes. Thanks also to Nick Johnston for organising the event, and Clare, Sue and Howard for the delicious buffet.

As we near the end of the bowling season, here are just a few reminders and dates for your diaries.
