Seniors 60+ Inter County Competitions: Midland Counties
Each year Durham County Indoor Bowlling Association enters a team comprising of eight rinks of four players each in the Midlands Counties League for the Midlands League Trophy.
Durham County have been members of the Midlands Seniors League for four seasons and have had to play all their matches away. However, despite this disadvantage they have been very successful. In their first season 2004 they were runners-up and for the last three seasons have won the competition.
This is a brilliant record and the Seniors Team under the guidance of President Keith Hartley are keen to retain the Midlands League Trophy in 2007-8 against the opposition from Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Warwickshire and Nottinghamshire.
