Our Crown Green Bowling Competition will return for its second year, on Sunday 10th August 2025.
We are again returning to The Stanley Conservative Club to host this year’s event. Our sponsor as with last year is Polytec (UK) Ltd. a family run plastic fabrication company based in Bury. We thank them for their continuing sponsorship.
Following on from last year’s inaugural completion involving 24 participants with the winners being Mitch Toth and Kim Peake.
As with the previous year, this event is primarily a charity event, with the charity being ‘Sam’s Gift’ a local Bury based charity started in memory of Sam, their mission is to bring moments of comfort, joy and connection to teenagers, young adults, and families navigating the challenges of cancer diagnosis and end-of-life care.
We also thank Stanley Conservative Club for their continuing patronage with allowing us to run the event at their club. There will be teas/coffees/alcoholic and non-alcoholic refreshments available within the bar area. Please bring your own food or purchase locally to the Stanley, all can be consumed with the Stanley premises.
Bowling will kick off at 11:30 a.m. and run through to approximately 6:00 p.m. We hope to increase participation this year from 24 to 32 entrants (16 pairs) – a mix of seasoned bowlers and enthusiastic first-timers. Don’t worry if you’ve never bowled before – non-bowlers will be provided with equipment and paired with more experienced players, making this a perfect opportunity to try something new in a relaxed and supportive environment.
The format is designed for maximum enjoyment and competition:
Group winners proceed to semi-finals, followed by a grand final to crown the 2025 champions
16 pairs split into 4 groups (A–D)
Each group plays a round-robin (three 9-end matches per team)
Results will collated on a win/score basis – with the highest team from each group going forward to the semi-finals. The semi-final draw will take place for a one of game to achieve our finalists.
Then the final will be played, resulting in our Bury FC Crown Green Bowling Competition 2025 champion pair.
