Warrington & North Cheshire Bowls Association    [ founded 1904 ]

FINLAYSON CUP WINNERS

Presented by Warrington Works Bowling Association

The Warrington Works Association became part of the North Cheshire League and from 1992 the playing of the Finlayson Cup was changed from being a competition for Works teams to a Friday night Champion of Champions Competition played for by League leaders. Following the amalgamation of the North Cheshire League and the Warrington and District League the Cup became the Challenge Cup Supplementary Competition. Teams eligible for play are those knocked out in the Challenge Cup first round.
