Jack Frost has made his grand entrance for the winter and of course he made it over a busy bowls weekend.
On Friday, the 7th of June we hosted a 12th birthday party and despite the ice in the air, everyone had an absolute ball. Then again, kids don’t feel the cold in quite the same way as us “oldies” do. In total we had 18 kids, and 12 adults try their hand at bowls and with so much enthusiasm. Happy Birthday Tia and we hope that this was one of your most exciting birthdays yet!

The last league game of this year’s season was played on Saturday, and whilst our ladies had a bye, our men’s team played away against Hilton. What a game to watch with the gents really showing their skills to land a solid victory of 11 and half points out of 12! I big well done to all our league players this year who showed dedication and commitment to UWBC, and gave their absolute best through the whole season.
To end off a busy weekend, four of our players represented UWBC at the NIBA Open Singles on Sunday. All of our players came up against tough competition and all four played their hearts out. Wendy Smith had a great start to both of her games but unfortunately finished down in both as did Neil Wright. Despite the losses they both had some amazing bowls and can be quite proud of their efforts. Lisa Nagel was drawn against 2 district players and boy oh boy did she hold her own! She had very near losses finishing only 2 or 3 shots down in both her games which both stretched beyond 21 ends. Well done Lisa for flying our flag so high. Lastly, a huge congratulations to Kevin Palmer, who came out on top against both of his games, finishing 21-15 in his first and 21-18 in his second game. UWBC is so proud of you and we wish you all the best for the playoffs in two weeks’ time.
That’s all for this week… see you on the greens!
