Warrington & North Cheshire Bowls Association [ founded 1904 ]

CHALLENGE CUP WINNERS

Arthur H.Crosfield Esq presented the Challenge Cup to The Warrington & District Bowls League in 1904.

A search through the Warrington Guardians for 1906 showed no mention of the Challenge Cup for that year, perhaps it was not contested.

Below are a listed the winners by year and also list of the number of times the cup has been won individual clubs.

Thanks to Bill Goodwin who compiled this list
