County Competitions 2026
During the 2026 summer season, Guilsfield have been pleased to host a number of "county competitions" in addition to our regular roll ups, in-house competitions, friendlies and league matches.
MWWBA Hampton Trophy
We hosted the MWWBA Hampton Trophy - 2-wood Triples - competition on Saturday, 11th July. Our wonderful team of volunteers made the day a great success selling a lovely selection of rolls, cakes and drinks raising funds for our club.
Ten teams from across the county entered the competition which started at breakfast time and was played down to the semi-finals to be held later date at Builth Wells.
Guilsfield entered two teams, one of which made it through to the semi-finals.
Well done Guilsfield - all in all a fantastic performance.
MLBA Champion of Champions
The following weekend, Sunday, 19th August, we were pleased to host the Montgomeryshire Ladies, Champion of Champions where the ladies champions of each of the clubs come together to find an overall winner.
After some amazing games, Sue Mount of Machynlleth won the final game. The runner up was Margaret Gittins of Bettws. Well done to both and to all competitors.

MBA League Cup Final
Congratulations to Llanidloes on winning the MBA League Cup Final. It was an excellent and highly competitive match, played in a great spirit by both teams. Commiserations to Newtown, who put up a tremendous fight and helped make it a memorable final.
Guilsfield were thanked for hosting the final and, as Dia Lewis said, for providing such a good green for the occasion.
A Greener Green for 2026
With the help of an Energy Saving Grant from Sport Wales, we have been able to purchase a solar system for the clubhouse - the grant covered 80% of the total cost making the project an affordable investment.
The system should supply the club with green electricity sufficient to meet our needs throughout the season. It has been supplied, installed and commissioned by Powys Solar of Newtown (Andrew Lister). 👍
All we need now is a little sunshine to get generating!
Equipment to assist the less able bodied
With the Sports Wales grant, we have been able to purchase a lot of new equipment to assist the less able bodied, including a walking frame, a wheelchair, 2 sets of corner steps, a smaller shed so the equipment is more accessible, bright coloured woods, bowlers lifters and delivery arms.
