DEFENDING Furness And District Bowling League champions Lindal got off to the best possible start in the Sharples Lettings-sponsored Division One with a 14-0 whitewash of Hawcoat Park A.

Simon Perry, Andy Armstrong and Daniel Smith all bagged themselves a single figure win.

The Post Office visited Hawcoat Park and came away with a stunning 9-6 victory. Alf Oldfield, Steve Waugh and Brian Beard bowled superbly to take the aggregate. Tony Kneale and Andy Thornton were the pick of the home side’s winners. The rain washed out most of Saturday’s fixtures across the three divisions.

Walney Park will be looking for a quick return to Division One after last season’s relegation. They started in fine form with an 11-3 home win over Barrow Island.

The Park side had eight single figure wins, with the pick coming from Keith Dixon and Paul Hewitson.

Division Three newcomers Glaxo A started their campaign with a 9-6 away win at Walney Park B.
