North Wales Coast League

Our Club’s Saturday ‘B’ Team, Captained by Elaine Beech, played its last game of the season yesterday and finished in the top half of its Division. Congratulations to all team members.

Our North Wales Coast League ‘B’ Team

Nearly There

Congratulations to both our ‘A’ & ‘B’ Teams in the Clwydian League. Both Captain Shan Eccles’ and Captain Carol Barrington’s teams won their Semi-Final Cup matches yesterday in their respective Divisions. The Final matches will be held on Friday 5th September (venue To Be Confirmed). These excellent wins underline the strong standing that both teams have this season as they are both, coincidentally, in 2nd place in their Divisions, i.e. the ‘A’ in the ‘A’ and the ‘B’ in the ‘B’.

Commiserations to our ‘D’ Team that was two players down from the outset of their Semi-Final, meaning the points difference was just a bit too much to overcome. This was, however, an impressive achievement for our ‘D’ Team as the team was only formed at the start of this season, so extra kudos to their Captain Sue Kirkham and all her players.

Well played to everyone in all our three teams, and good luck to our Finalists. The two venues will be confirmed as soon as possible. Spectators will be very welcome at the Finals to encourage the players, so please do go along to give them all your support if you’re ready, willing and able. Thank you.

Cup Semi-Finals Day Today

2:15pm Clwydian League Cup Competition Semi-Finals:

‘B’ Team (+20) v East Parade ‘A’ (+30) at Rhuddlan Bowling Club.
‘D’ Team (+50) v Eirias Park (+50) at Mochdre Park Bowling Club.

Good luck to everyone involved. How good would it be for all 3-teams to reach the Final in their respective Division? It could happen. If you’d like to go and support any of our three team above, then the bowling green where each team is playing is also shown above.

A Joke?

John B: Hey David, Why did the young tape measure feel insecure around the older tape measures?

David L: Do we have to do this in the middle of a bowls match?

John B: No David, that’s not the answer. The answer is that it was afraid that it wouldn’t measure up!

Doubles All Round

The Preliminary Rounds of the Clwydian Doubles Competition took place on 15th August at Dyserth Bowling Club and Abergele Bowling Club. Players from three of our teams in the Clwydian League took the plunge to compete.

Our ‘A’ Team was at Dyserth with players: David Leech & Vince Toms; Miriam Forder & Mark Ball; and, Shan Eccles & Diane Lea. Our ‘C’ & ‘D’ Teams were at Abergele with players: Alan Wareing & Ian Eardley; Phil & Debs Rasmussen; Colin Burgess & Steve Raynor; and, Barbara Harvey & Sylvia Owen. Thankfully none of our Vardre Deganwy teams were drawn to play each other.

The matches were all well contested although the speed of the greens, due to the exceptionally hot, dry summer, meant that they were very tricky to play. Alan and Ian won their first game but just missed out in their 2nd. However, after a 4-hour wait for their first game, team Shan & Diane won through to play in the finals day on 29th August (venue to be confirmed).

Playing in pairs was a new experience for some and all agreed that it was a very enjoyable day. How many pairs will our club enter next year? Take a lead from today’s brave souls and give it a go.
