League Starts

The Clwydian League’s 2026 Season started yesterday with mixed results for our 4-teams. Our ‘A’ Team managed an 8:4 win away versus the newly promoted Ruthin team. Our ‘B’ Team also had an 8:4 win at home against Copperfields ‘A’. Despite our ‘C’ team having 5-winners, they lost the agg, and therefore the match, by just a couple of points. Our ‘D’ team was away to Copperfields ‘B’ and managed 3-wins and one score of 20. Well done everyone and thank you to additional supporters who were present at the matches.

N.B. Photos of the Opening-4’s Final held on Monday should be available here tomorrow morning.

Easter Monday Competitions

The Final of the Vardre’s Opening-4’s Competition was held yesterday between Bunty Masters & Bob Mason and Debs Rasmussen & Tom Chartrand. It was a well matched game with Debs & Tom the ultimate victors. Congratulations to the winners and the runners-up.

Elsewhere on the same day, some of our ‘A’ Team players took part in a Triples Competition held at Llanfairpg Bowling Club. Mark Ball headed one triples team. The other team from Vardre consisted of Shan Eccles, Ann Banks and Diane Lea. The latter trio won through to the quarter finals where they just lost out to a Home team with a 21:20 score. So close. Many thanks to Miriam Forder and Carol Barrington who were also there as the support team, encouraging our players and marking cards.

However, the successful winning team on the day was Mark Ball’s team. Congratulations to the three of them. 👏🙂

Hosting Volunteers Needed Please

The Club will be hosting two Cup first round matches on 20th & 30th April and we are seeking volunteers to help on those dates. However, our own teams will be playing at other bowling greens so we need volunteers who are not in any of the teams. Only 4-people will be needed to host at each event. Two people to serve teas and the other two people to help on the green with measuring:-

  • 20th April: Colwyn & Llandudno League Cup 1st Round 5:30pm to 8:30pm.
  • 30th April: Clwyd League Cup 1st Round from 5:00pm to 8:00pm.
  • Our Club might be asked to host a Cup Competition match on Friday 24th April from 1:30pm to 4:30pm for the Clwydian League and we’ll let you know as soon as possible.

If you are able to help, please add your name to the list on the noticeboard in the Clubhouse. Thank you.

Last Week’s Prep

How did the green and premises look so good and ready for the opening day of the season? It was because of the input of these people, plus a few more, who helped during the long winter months leading up to the opening day:
