National Championships Roll of Honour
The Strongest Bowlers over the years
Winning a National Championship title is no mean feat and they can be proud of their achievements.
In order to get to a first place spot, bowlers first needed to make it into the top part of their County qualifier finalists table, and then they needed to progress through several rounds of the National event competing against other bowlers who also finished in the top of their respective County qualifier finalists tables.
Finally, they needed to win the all-important final game, usually after a long day of bowling in the previous rounds.
The tables below list our winners from previous years, well done to them all!
