Clanfield Bowls & Sports Club Clanfield Bowls Club Match Report

Clanfield Bowls & Sports Club hosted a friendly match, their 5^th this year, on Wednesday 6 November 2019 against Waterlooville Bowling Club.

Since opening in April, this was the first occasion we had play on all 8 rinks at the Windmill Pavilion club ground.  In all 56 bowlers took part, which was a lovely sight with a friendly atmosphere. A total of 18 ends were played, with a break for tea and biscuits halfway through. You could hear the fun and laughter rippling through the gentle rolling hills of Clanfield!  I would like to thank Waterlooville for helping us to relax and making the match fun.

As you can imagine it was a lot to organise and could not have run smoothly without the help of the following:

Mike and Glenda Smith
Jo Lougher
Barry O’Leary
Neil and Brenda Morgan
Carol and Barry Carter
Tracey and Howard Wilkins
Alan Dickinson
Peter and Linda McWilliams (Waterlooville)

Final result:  Clanfield 81 Waterlooville 184   

The score belies a closely fought battle against Waterloo…Ville!  Clanfield won 2 rinks but Waterlooville have years of experience, whilst Clanfield have only months – we will improve!

Congratulations to all of those who took part.
