Our champion Ladies triples team from last year PamTottman, Shelly Rindsland and Hazel Comber, have re-grouped again for this year and played their first match away against Goring Manor and won 18 - 10.

Open Day
For anyone taking a look at our website thinking about taking up bowls for the first time or just simply wanting to have a go at bowling, we have the answer for you. On Sunday May 19th between 10.00am and 4.00pm, we have a free open day at our club for complete beginners or even those who have played once or twice and want more instruction and possibly looking to join a bowls club. All you need is a pair of flat soled shoes or trainers (no heels) and we will provide the bowls and other equipment. It is totally informal and very friendly and we will demonstrate how to bowl and try out the game yourself on our green with experienced bowlers and coaches on hand to help you though out the day.

Men’s League division 1 and division 3
Both leagues need more players to add their names to the list’s of the new season’s games otherwise we may end up not being able to provide full teams in the first few matches. If anyone is not sure about playing in the league teams, put your doubt’s behind you and just give it a try by adding your name to the list(s), you have nothing to lose, but a lot to gain in representing your Club.
Notification about change in match start times
The start time of the men’s Double Fours on May 5 and the Top Club match on May 11 have been changed fro 10.00am to 11.00am
Cancelled Mens Tuesday Triple matches and Mixed Friday Triple matches
Due to low numbers signing up for both of these competitions, the number of allocated match days is greater than is now required. As a result each competition has had 4 matches cancelled and are listed below. It's a great shame. Not too many years ago the Tuesday night triples had to have two leagues and played on 6 or 7 rinks because of the number of players involved . That amount of players meant a good social evening after matches.
Men's Tuesday Triples Cancelled:- 14 May, 21 May, 28 May and 04 June.
Mixed Friday Triples Cancelled:- 24 May, 31 May, 07 June and 14 June.
Durrington Short Mat League
