Black or Red is Back!
After several years away this popular night of fun is back again. Based on the popular TV game, everyone can get involved and have some laughs along the way. Tommo is your host and the main event will be followed as usual by more chances to win at MBC HiLo cards, card bingo and Safe Cracker. Hope to see you there!
On behalf of the MBC Team and all our members, we’d like to congratulate our Snooker ‘C’ Team on their impressive victory against Dronfield Woodhouse ‘A’ last night. At Nether Edge Bowling Club our team managed to overcome a very capable Dronfield side sealing victory with an impressive overall aggregate score of over 160! An impressive feat considering Dronfield had already won the league quite comfortably and definitely had their eyes firmly on a league and cup double.
Well done to Skipper Wayne Taylor and all the Team, in what has been a bit of an up and down season, you’ve most definitely finished on an up! We’re all very proud of you!
(If we get to find out individual scores I will update the post).

Last Monday saw the Social League get underway with an impressive start to the new
season for our A Team who beat Wadsley House A at home in the A Division 8-0. Captain ‘Chaos’ Clark skippered the side to an impressive first victory. Debutant Dave ‘Great Gambini Jnr’ Gamban got off to an impressive start in the doubles with Badge, with Carling Darling carrying ‘Peg Leg’ Clarke through another victory in the other doubles game. ‘Chaos’ says all the singles were decidedly average!
Meanwhile after relegation to the B Division, our B Team started their season with a 4-4
draw away at Norfolk Park. The team were grateful for big wins from Scott Claxton in the
singles and Mel & Ian Hobson in the doubles to ensure the aggregate win, ensuring a share
of the points against a very tricky opposition who played well on the night.
This week sees the B Team at home on Monday vs Herdings, whilst the A Team faces a tricky fixture
away match at Catcliffe; both games starting at 6.00pm.
Tuesday 12th April sees the start of the Sheffield & Hallamshire League. Our A Team face a
challenging start facing Bradfield A away, with our new look B Team at home to Stocksbridge
Friendship.
The Vets Team play their first Wednesday Union Street Cup fixture on Wednesday 13th April,
starting at 1.30pm away at Ridgeway. They’ll be fit and ready to go after two impressive
games in the Presto Doubles, in which they beat Mosborough MW A at home & Richmond
Park away both to the same 10-0 score line. This coming Friday they will be hoping for a
repeat performance at home to Nether Edge A, starting at 1.30pm.
Finally, this week sees the start to the Parks Saturday League for our club, which sees two home games
on our green. With the A Team away at Maltby in the Jackson League, our B Team takes on
Bradfield B at 1.30pm in the Telegraph Cup. Following on from that, our C Team hosts
Hollinsend in the Fitzwilliam Shield with a 5.00pm start.
Your support is always welcome!
