The History of our Club

As RAF Coltishall YBC and now Striker's YBC North Walsham

We are going to use this part of the site to record the clubs history. I have records of all our leagues, who bowled and their final averages, so I thought that would be interesting. As far as successes in tournaments go I am not sure who won what when. You have the trophies which hopefully are dated, or if you remember anything anyone else did let me know and we can add it. Well here by years are all our leagues and the bowler's who took part.

Here are a few extra features that may be of interest

House records Colt Bowl and underneath Strikers.
