A&D 2 Wood Triples Runners-up

DSC01798Congratulations to Farnborough trio of Martin Lee, Keith Dunstone and Chris Henderson for reaching the finals of the Aldershot & District 2 Wood Triples Final.  For the second year running we were drawn against a strong Cove triple and despite as good start Cove gradually pulled ahead to finish up with a convincing win.
Our men played well and the Club is proud of them getting this far and maintaining our success in this competition over the last few years.  Winners next year?

Last night Farnborough Bowling Club secured a place in the Farnham & District Boyd Shield final by beating Tongham 68 – 58.  Our team will be going, along with Geoff Ringrose and Harrison Ash who qualified for the Men’s Pairs with a well deserved win over a very strong Cove pair, on the 4th September to Farnborough Gate.  We are still in the Mixed Pairs so we could have a third entry.

County Badges for our bowlers

County BadgeYesterday, after the game between Bowls Hampshire and the Banks Bowling Association, Ken Eichen, President Bowls Hampshire, presented Keith Dunstone and Michael Andrews with their County Badge.

These were awarded because both bowlers had competed in over six qualifying county games since 2015.

Well done to both bowlers and Farnborough Bowling Club for giving the bowlers the support and facilities to develop.

BTW Keith and Michael had a win on their rink in the game.
