Rolling On plus a Knock Out

Mixed fortunes for our team representatives in yesterday’s Merits for the Colwyn & Llandudno League. Ian, representing our ‘A’ Team, lost his first game and, as usual for Ian, it was a day of very wet weather, with large puddles all over the Rhuddlan green. Next time Ian. Tommy was managing the day’s event for the League.

Meanwhile elsewhere, John P also got wet but had better luck. Here’s his day’s story from his Captain Marina: “John P represented the Vardre B team at the qualifiers held today at Penrhyn New Hall. Excellent news – John won both of his games. 21:14 and 21:20 . The latter was a very long game, but John held on with such determination. Congratulations John🎉- well done and THANK YOU for representing us . John will be bowling and representing us again next Sunday at Colwyn’s President’s Day held at Penmaenmawr Bowling Green 2pm start. Please come along, if you can, and give John your support.”

Colwyn & Llandudno Merits Today

Ian will be playing at Rhuddlan today representing the ‘A’ Team, and John P will be playing at Penrhyn New Hall, representing the ‘B’ Team. 2:00pm start for both. Good luck to you both.

John P holds his head in place. Hopefully he won’t bowl it by mistake!

Final Match

Today is the final match of the season in the North Wales Coast Bowling League with Vardre Deganwy ‘B’ Team, playing their game at Grove Park. The Team is likely to finish mid-table so a pretty satisfying season. Congratulations to Captain Elaine and her Team.

Our Ladies are Title Winners

Carol Barrington, Captain of the Vardre Deganwy Ladies Team, holds the Trophy for her team winning the ‘A’ Division Title 2024. In her other hand she supports Shan Eccles who had just played a Quarter, a Semi and the Final match in the Ladies Merits, but she eventually just lost out in the Final. Eddie Eccles was also there to carry the umbrella.

Desperately Seeking Someone

Ian makes sure that Shan’s eyes are tightly closed before she reaches counting to 100 so that he can find a good place to hide around the green before she starts her search

Walled Towns Competition

This annual competition, played between Vardre Deganwy, Caernarfon, Beaumaris and Denbigh bowling clubs, was held yesterday on our green. An overcast day, interspersed with heavy showers, did not soak the players enthusiasm. 18-games of doubles were played, with a short break for a buffet lunch in the clubhouse. The outcome was a win for Beaumaris. Congratulations to all the participants and many thanks to Conwy Town Council for providing the buffet refreshments. Come back here in a day or two or three for more photographs of the day.
