We established a strong relationship with Darlington South Park in the 1920s, and the two clubs played each other annually, for about 50 years. This arose because of the Alsop brothers, one of whom played for Darlington and the other for Consett. You can read more about Ralph Alsop, our first chairman, on our website. Both brothers were president of their respective clubs, and both became President of the Durham County Bowling Association and the English Bowling Association. They were both awarded the CBE.
You can read the Consett Guardian reports of the matches played in 1927 and 1929 on our website.
