FIRST TROPHY GAME 2023

Rev. Williams Trophy - Saturday 10 June

lawn bowls, verwood, dorset, social club, clubhouse
Ed (winner) & Sue (runner up) - well done to you both !!!

We had a very hot and sticky day for playing bowls, but everyone who took part enjoyed themselves and had a lovely lunch at the end.

The competition was run on a 'Round Robin' format, and was won by a close margin, the score being 4 to 3 in favour of Ed Murphy who beat Sue Child in a nail biting 6 ends final.

A big thanks to everyone for bringing food to share and to all participants and those who helped to make this a great trophy day.

Club Trophy pictures are available on our Photo Gallery page.

ALF LOCKYER ROSEBOWL

Alf Lockyer Rosebowl - Saturday 17 June

lawn bowls, verwood, dorset, social club, clubhouse
Mal & Sue (winners) - well done both of you !!!

On the day of the game, we had only four pairs competing for the trophy. These were: Angela Daymond and Ken Haxby-Thompson; Chrissy Haxby-Thompson and Keith Newman; Sue Child and Edward Murphy; Sue Dooley and Mal Hancock.

After 3 rounds of a 6 ends 'Round Robin' game we had two teams for the final, that being Sue Doolley & Mal Hancock and Sue Child & Ed Murphy. After a 6 end final, Sue D and Mal came out on top and won the trophy.

It was a hot and sticky day with a coffee break and lunch before the final. The day was enjoyed by everyone including the few spectators (thanks for your support!) that turned up to watch. A big thanks to everyone for bringing food to share and to all participants and those who helped to make this another great trophy day.

REG HURFORD CUP

Reg Hurford Cup - Saturday 1 July

lawn bowls, verwood, dorset, social club, clubhouse
Tony Bird (runner up) Norman (vice president) Mal Hancock (winner)

The day started a bit damp and gloomy, but spirits were soon lifted when the weather perked up as play got underway. First round losers played another game against each other and the eight winners were whittled down to the two finalists, Mal Hancock and Tony Bird.

Then it was lunchtime and the final followed at 2pm, keeping us all on tenterhooks till the sixth and last end - would it be a tie with another end to decide the outcome? But no, Mal just squeaked home by 5 points to 4. Thanks went out to Mal and Tony for an entertaining final and Vice President, Norman Pearce, presented the trophies.

A big thank you to all the players for bringing the food for our lunch, for all your help during the day and making it another great Trophy day.

LAST TROPHY GAME 2023

Ken Farrance Trophy - Saturday 29 July

Ken Farrance Winners 2023
Keith Newman, Jane Roberts and Mike Foster

We were lucky with the weather as it only rained briefly on one occasion. The preliminary 5 rounds were played with a tea break after the 3rd round. When all 5 rounds were completed.

I had two teams with 13 points which took them into the final which consisted of 6 ends

The teams were:
Angela Daymond, Robert Child and Robert Smith
Keith Newman, Mike Foster and Jane Roberts

Every end of the 6 ends played were very closely fought over by both teams, and on the last end Jane and her two players managed the take victory by 4 points to 3 giving them the win.

A well presented lunch was offered to all present at the game and was enjoyed by all, as they now had a good appetite after the match.
