HARLOW has a long history dating back to the 1960’s of producing very good Tenpin Bowlers, many having played for their country and county. The sport of Tenpin Bowling continues in Harlow to this day.

As a prelude to the start of the Harlow Senior Rollers 2023/2024 Tenpin Bowling season the presentation of trophies for the 2022/2023 season took place at Tenpin’s bowling centre in Harlow.

The league has now been running in Harlow for 24 seasons but recently had to change its roll-off time to 10.00am from the previous time of 2.00pm on Tuesdays.
