We’re thrilled to announce that the ESMBA National Allocations have been released and Greater Manchester will be able to field a very strong team this year. In total, we have been allocated 21 places across all seven disciplines and we think we might need a bigger trophy cabinet!

We’re looking forward to seeing what our bowlers can do and we know they will do a great job of representing Greater Manchester, no matter what the results (although some more trophies would be nice!).
