Sunday 20th April

Outdoor bowls clubs in the Stamford League, such as Wittering (see below), are preparing for the new season by opening their greens for practice before the start of the Boor & Wainwright Shield competition on Friday 9th May. As well as roll-ups, some clubs have arranged early-season friendly matches for additional experience for members in the run-up to the start of competitive bowling, as well as competitions over the holiday weekend. The sustained period of dry weather has left greens in much firmer condition than is usual at this stage in the year, with the promise of much faster rinks.

In the photo below, Wittering’s new President Dave Don casts the first jack of the 2025 season, with other club members looking on.
