The Saturday Indoor Inter-League at Kingsthorpe Bowling Club has been running since 2009 and was introduced by KBC members to encourage teams from across the county to get together when the outdoor greens are closed. The League is open to all indoor bowlers and to those outdoor players who may not normally play bowls at all in the winter. It is also open to both men and women.
The league has undergone several changes since its inception with varying numbers of teams and numbers of games played, but the format has remained constant. Cash prizes are awarded to the winners and runners-up.
Our Sponsor
For the 2026-27 season, we are delighted to welcome our new sponsor and preferred supplier of all beverages, Greene King Brewery, who will be guaranteeing prize monies for winners and runners-up in both divisions.
Our thanks to previous sponsor, Northants Testing, for introducing sponsorship to this league and providing trophies.
