Bowls Development Alliance Update

Bowls England

The following statement has today been issued by the Bowls Development Alliance BDA.”The British Crown Green Bowls Association and the English Short Mat Bowling Association recently announced their intention to leave the Bowls Development Alliance. This has come at a time when commitment was needed to sign up to the BDA for a further four years. Despite this setback Bowls England and the English Indoor Bowling Association Ltd are fully committed to working together for the long-term development of the sport of bowls. The BDA is currently waiting to hear if its bid for continued funding 2013-2017 to bring more people into the game has been successful. It is only by working together in partnership that funding can be secured from Sport England in order to grow and sustain the sport. There will be no changes to the present way in which the BDA works across all codes of bowls. It is hoped in the future to encourage new partners to step forward, to work together and really make a step change in the development of the sport.”

Triples team have a good weekend

Farnborough Bowling Club Triples Team (Dennis, Keith and Michael) qualified for two semi-finals of the Aldershot & District Competition.  They beat Cove 19 – 0 on Friday and narrowly beat Farnborough British Legion on Saturday. The game was level after 18 ends but the Farnborough trio’s skip (Dennis) took the shot on the last bowl of the extra end.
