On February 28th 2026 12 hardy bowlers travelled to Mersea Island for another game at their indoor Bowls Club. Two new bowlers were in the Maldon team and everyone had a very enjoyable afternoon although as always when going to Mersea the Maldon team came second. They did however manage to win the little quiz which takes place.
April 2026 Saturday 18th Opening Drive - Well what a start to the season. Over 45 members attended the Opening Drive and we played 18 ends before everyone adjourned to the club house and enjoyed a buffet provided by all the members. In Opening the Green David Sargood referred to all the work that had been undertaken during the closed season and a minutes silence was held for members that had died during the winter months.

Sunday 3rd Centenary Cup Chelmsford - home what a start to the season. On a lovely afternoon Maldon players welcomed members of Chelmsford Bowls Club for a challenge match. It was a very enjoyable afternoon made extra special as Maldon won 59 shots to 52 retaining the Centenary Cup for another year.
Thursday 7th Home v Danbury - Maldon welcomed Danbury Bowls Club over for our first friendly of the season, playing on six rinks, it stayed dry and although a friendly it was friendly rivalry, as we do have some old Danbury players playing for us and alot of friends at Danbury.
We went in for tea at nine ends with a score difference of one point to Maldon. By the end of eighteen ends, Maldon had won on four ends and Danbury had won on two, but sadly for Maldon the scores were 106 for Danbury and 92 for Maldon.
A special mention must go to two of our newest bowlers Louise Broadbridge and Peter Sutton playing in there first ever match, helping their skip Geoff Cox to an imporessive win of 27 to 8.
Well done. Thanks to Peter Ward for this report.
