EBYDS 2024

Banister Park Indoor Bowls Club hosted this year's Hampshire English Bowls Youth Development
Scheme Invitation Singles on Sunday 18th February 2024.

We are very grateful to Banister for the use of their excellent facilities free of charge, showing their
full support of the Hampshire young bowlers.

Normally the winner and runner up of both the juniors 8 to under 14 years, and seniors 14 to under
18 years would go on to the Southern Regional finals at Horsham indoor bowls club in April, however
as Kent, Sussex and Surrey were unable to raise enough youngsters to hold their own county event
for the southern region, Hampshire have now been invited to send 4 of the top bowlers from each
of the junior and seniors to the National Finals at Melton Mowbray in October 2024!

In the first picture:

The junior winner on the left Harrison Vickery from Loddon Vale

The senior runner up at the back right is Finn Patel from Victory

We would like to thank all the markers, coaches, umpires, officers and helpers for their valuable
time and expertise, without which we could not hold this prestigious event.
