It’s a new year, so what have we got to look forward to?

The knock-out competition between members of the Racal-Decca League is played between two mixed rinks from each team.

Club Friendly Matches – Mixed
Friendly games are the life-blood of bowls clubs, giving all members the opportunity to play the game irrespective of their skill level. Taking part is more important than winning – well, almost!
