Cowcliffe 9-0 records this centrury

Club News


Bob Swan has an amazing number of properly filed newspaper cuttings covering many years of Huddersfield bowling. They are stored in a series of paper holders all in chronological order. Amazingly Bob knows where to find most of the answers to most of the questions ever asked about bowling in Huddersfield.


In addition he has an ever-growing number of computerised records especially about his beloved Cowcliffe Liberal Club teams. When I posted the article this week about the 9-0 scores of Veterans League Division 1 teams within one hour Bob had sent me the record below. This shows the number of 9-0 scorelines suffered and inflicted by Cowcliffe Veterans League teams since the turn of this century.


Bob highlights last season's last day of the season 9-0 home win over Elland C&BC saved Longwood from relegation and sent the Elland team down instead. Last year three teams were relegated from Division 1 and but for Cowcliffe's whitewash win it would have been Longwood that would have been relegated, not Elland C&BC and Longwood wouldn't be sat in 2nd place in the Division 1 league table today.

I've been holding back sharing these to see if any other records were forthcoming from any other team or individual. None so far but there is still time. Meanwhile I am pleased to share Bob's records.
