After the National Finals for 4 of our 1st/EWL3 team earlier in the week, and a fab win in the final of the CMWL on Weds, it’s back to normal as our 1st/EWL3 team take on Cardiff Athletic at home, 2:30pm.
The League table tells the story of how important this game is for both Clubs.

Success!!
We won the CMWL Final last night in “The A470 Derby” against Whitchurch. Very close… came down to a last-end thriller. Sneaked it by a couple of shots 😊
Our thanks to Whitchurch Hospital BC for hosting the Final.
Here’s Captain Nigel looking suitably pleased 😊

Wasn’t to be for me in semi-final of the nationals in Llandod 😞
Lost 21-15. Was 12-3 down, pulled back to 16-15 (and on a bit of a roll) then my gallant opponent drew four bowls within a foot… game over.
#lawnbowls can be hard at times. I’ll bounce back 😂

After a dismal personal performance on Monday evening in Pairs League, it’s back to Cardiff Sophia this evening to play for @rhiwbinabowls.bsky.social Youth Club (yes, really!) in the Rinks League… probably against the same players… 😂

On top of Club Comps, don’t forget that, as Vice-Captain, it’s your job to run the flag up the pole when we’re playing at home 😂
After a mixed week playing (tonked in the Pairs League on Monday), “ugly” win in the rinks on Weds), I’m thinking about the scheduling of our Club Comps for the coming season.
So many variables and “what ifs”…
