NETHERTON Con made a strong start in the top flight as the Slawit & Golcar Cars Huddersfield Bowling League got under way.

Only two of their 12 bowlers failed to win – surprisingly Paul Sigsworth being one of them – as they scored a 241-159 win over Lockwood Con.

Youngster Jack Dyson was arguably the pick of Netherton with a 21-9 success over Peter Kain.
