HRUFC BC – Subscription Form 2023
History
Bentley and Shaw Ltd built the Bowling Green at Lockwood Park in the early 1920’s, the pavilion was added a little later, and a Sports Club for Brewery employees was formed. Post-war the green was used at different times by the Licensed Victuallers Association and Gledhill Sports for competitive bowling and hosted many top Huddersfield, Inter-district and County events. It was not used after 1990.
Huddersfield RUFC Bowling Club was formed in 1997 when the Rugby Club relocated to its new home at Lockwood Park.
The fine facilities and green which we now enjoy are due to the efforts of the founder members and committee in those early years to restore the facilities.
In the first season, 1998, we entered teams in the Elland League and Works League. Most of the players were learners and we did well not to come bottom in either competition. By 1999 we had six teams bowling competitively, including a Ladies’ team for the first time. Results were much better – the new players improved rapidly and a few experienced bowlers had joined us.
The Club currently runs 8 Men’s, Ladies and Mixed teams playing in leagues across the Huddersfield, Colne Valley and Brighouse areas.
