Alleys & teams in the fixture books from 1952-53 until 56-57<\/p>\n
The Dorchester & District Skittles League is believed to have started around 1950 although before that teams in the area played in The Groves League which was based from Weymouth. We do not have any fixture books or records from the first few years but we do have a Section A fixture book from the 1952-53 season, which we think is the oldest bit of history from our league. From the 53-54 season both Section A and B are in the same book, and from 56-57 there is a Section C. Unfortunately we do not have a fixture book from the 55-56 season so the records below do not account for that season.<\/p>\n
Below are the alleys used by each team season by season, teams in red played in Section A, in blue were in Section B, and in Lime Green Section C.<\/p>\n
