Friendlies 2025

Friendly matches against local clubs are played throughout the summer season, at home and away.

Entry is open to all club members, regardless of ability - the objective is to take part in a friendly game.
The format of the match may be fours or triples - it all depends on the numbers wishing to take part. And we've been known to lend or borrow players to/from the opposition to balance the teams.
Our home matches start with a Spider game ...
Afternoon matches culminate in afternoon tea (naturally) - there may well be greater competition between clubs in the quality of the teas than there is in the quality of the bowls!
There will be a raffle.

The fixtures for 2025 are shown below:

Sign-up sheets for each match will be posted in the Clubhouse a few weeks prior to the fixture.

Organiser: Carol Pope

The Spider Game

Just a bit of fun to break the ice - open to all who wish to have a go:

The 'spider' is placed in the centre of the green.
Upon the appointed signal, each player bowls one wood from the edge of the green (one foot in the ditch) - all the bowls are in play at the same time.
The bowl closest to the spider once all the bowls have come to rest is declared the winner.

Entries are £1 and there is a prize.

Lilleshall (Away) - 17th May 2025

A great game of bowls played on a glorious May afternoon. Our hosts were gracious and generous with everything but points - so we won't mention the score. All in all, a most enjoyable afternoon!

St Michael's (Home) - 31st May 2025

Played ...

Neuadd Bridge (Home) - 14th June 2025

An excellent game, played in great spirit. The score is irrelevant - we have more experience playing on grass but they get their own back when we play on their carpet!

Llansantffraid (Away) - 30th June 2025

Unfortunately our game against Llansantffraid had to be cancelled (they had problems raising a team) but we look forward to hosting them later in the summer.

Meifod (Home) - 7th July 2025

Another glorious, if slightly chilly, summer evening of bowls played in a spirit of friendship. The green played beautifully - it was quick. For those interested in such things, Guilsfield won easily but that's not the point. We look forward to the return leg at Meifod later in the season ...

St Michael's (Away) - 12th July 2025

Cancelled.

Llansantffraid (Home) - 28th July 2025

Yet to be played ...

Meifod (Away) - 11th August 2025
