Interclub league fever begins
The Mercury
|July 03, 2025
THE 2025 Inter Club Leagues have arrived — and with them, the excitement and spirited competition that make the district leagues one of the most closely followed events on the PNB calendar.
Kicking off this Saturday, clubs across the district will be hitting the road weekly in pursuit of glory: whether it’s to earn promotion, avoid relegation or simply make their mark on what promises to be a gripping season.
In the men’s leagues, eight divisions will see clubs squaring off at different venues every week. First and second division clubs will be aiming to scoop a maximum of 17 points per round, while clubs in divisions three to eight can score up to 12 points.
The women’s divisions will gather at a single venue per round, all with eyes on the full 12-point haul.
Among the favourites this season is Westville Bowling Club, 2024 men's champions.
After finishing a commanding 18.5 points clear of their nearest rival last year, they might have been forgiven for stepping into 2025 with an air of confidence.
