The Malling League was started in 1995 and is based at
Ditton Community Hall. Clubs are drawn from the Malling area, which covers an area from Snodland and Burham in the
north to Ryarsh in the south and Aylesford in the east to St Mary's Platt in
the west. The league currently consists of 18 teams making up 1 division and
plays all its games on a Tuesday afternoon during the winter season. The format
of the league is Triples over 21 ends.
MAIDSTONE &
DISTRICT TRIPLES LEAGUE
The Maidstone and District Short Mat Triples League was
founded in 1987 and is drawn from clubs in the Maidstone and Medway area. By
1999 the league had expanded to five divisions and encompassed clubs from
Grain, in the north, New Ash Green, in the west, Marden, in the south to Lenham
in the east. A total of 23 clubs then entered teams into the league with a
number of clubs entering more than one team. By 2005 the league had contracted
to four divisions of six teams, made up of 18 different clubs. The league
format is three teams of triples playing over 11 ends on a home and away basis.
The scoring system is 2 points a mat win, 1 point for a mat draw and 4 points
for aggregate shots. Promotion and relegation of one team between divisions
occurs at the end of each season. A knockout cup competition, consisting of two
triples, is also competed for. The cup scoring format differs from the league
in that the winning team is decided on aggregate shots scored.
The six clubs that initially formed the Maidstone &
District league were heavily involved in discussions that resulted in the Kent
County Short Mat Bowling Association being formed. These clubs were: Detling,
Langley, Rochester, Sutton Valence, Tovil and YMCA.

The South East Kent league covers an area from Ashford
to Folkestone and Romney Marsh and includes clubs from Wye in the north of the
area to Dymchurch in the south. The league also has clubs from Hawkinge in the
east to Bethersden and Rye in the west of the area. Formed in 1993 the league
was three divisions strong in 2005 with 14 clubs supplying a total of 25 teams
into the competition. The league format is one two wood triple played over 12
ends on a home and away basis. The scoring system is 2 points a mat win, 1
point for a mat draw. Promotion and relegation of two teams between divisions
occurs at the end of each season.

The Swale league was founded in 1992 and consisted of
five clubs providing eight teams to form one division. By 2004 the league had
expanded to three divisions with 14 clubs entering 21 teams. League membership
is restricted to clubs that are within the Swale geographical area of Isle of
Sheppey, Sittingbourne and Faversham.
The league season runs from mid October to mid April
and is made up of games played on a home and away basis. The format of each
match is 1 four wood Singles and 3 two wood Pairs played in the first half with
1 two wood Triple and 1 two wood Fours played in the second half. No player may
play more than one game in each half, therefore a minimum of 7 players are
required for a team. The scoring system is 2 points a mat win, 1 point for a
mat draw and 2 points for aggregate shots, giving a total of 14 points being
available for each match. Relegation and promotion occurs between divisions at
the end of each season.
The league also arranges singles, pairs and triples
tournaments which are played to a finish on their separate competition days.

The West Kent League was formed in 1990 and has a
catchment area based on Sevenoaks, which covers an area from Joydens Wood in
the north to Pembury in the south and Chiddingstone Causeway in the west to St
Mary's Platt in the east. Initially the league began with one division of nine
teams. In 1993 a second division was formed and then in 1995 and 1999 the
league enlarged again to form a third and fourth division. The league also runs
a knockout cup competition and a mid week afternoon competition of one division.
The mid week afternoon league is designed to be more sociable, consisting
mostly of slightly older, less competitive people who would rather not drive
after dark. The league currently has a membership of 20 clubs with 40 teams
entered into the league and cup competitions. The league retains its original
format of each team consisting of 4 players, must not be all of the same sex,
playing home and away over 15 ends. Each of the four divisions consists of 8
teams with two teams promoted and relegated from the divisions at the end of
the season. In addition the league holds an annual one-day fours tournament at
various venues throughout its area.
