Due to the relentless wet weather, unfortunately the green is closed today.
Our Clwydian ‘C’ Team was due to play this morning but their opponents have withdrawn from the league. So, luckily for them on a bad weather day like today, they have a BYE.

Today is the opening day of the season for the North Wales Coast League. Our ‘A’ Team is Away to Rhos Park ‘B’, and our ‘B’ Team hosts Rhos-on-Sea. Good luck to both teams.
Just prior to the green opening, some of our members volunteered to help spruce up the club. The new kitchen installation created the need to get the clubhouse well prepared for the new season, and some tidying up outside was also vital whilst Ian and David L were on greenkeeping duty. Many thanks from everyone at the club for their hard work.

Meanwhile, our North Wales Coast League team members joined together to play a friendly at home against Dwygyfylchi last night. With about 15-members a side, some doubles matches were also played to ensure that everyone got a game despite the cold and the rain. Crown green bowlers are a hardy lot and it was an enjoyable evening all round.
