Welcome to the website of the Northern Bridge League.
Formed in 2006, the NBL is a teams-of-eight competition between the  County Bridge Associations of Northern England and North Wales. The League is divided into three Divisions. The ‘A’ Division is for teams consisting of players of the highest standard, the ‘B’ Division is for regular ‘County’ standard players, whilst the ‘C’ Division is aimed at those who do not yet fall into the other categories..

There are four all-play-all events each year, held on Saturdays in the Summer months. Events, which are usually of 42 boards, start at 1pm. A buffet meal is included, and most people are on their way home by early evening.
