Saturday 26th Saturday 2027

  By
And so the outdoor season has come to an end.
We have been extremely lucky with the summer weather although sometimes too warm ! Over the season we have welcomed so many lovely Clubs from all over the country – in fact 28 tourist matches in total. We hope that all Clubs enjoyed their visits as much as we enjoyed hosting them and hope to see some, if not all, re-visit us again next year.
Thanks as usual go to the Green Team who work extremely hard all year and not just during the outdoor season.
Thanks also go to our President, Ladies Captain and to those other members who took it in turns to be Captain of the Day for the tourist games, the Catering Team who fed some of the visiting teams along with providing food for other events and all those other members who work behind the scenes doing numerous tasks
Here’s to next season !

Men’s B Team – Message from the Captain

  By
Congratulations to the pool of 23 members of the ‘B’ team who secured promotion to the Third Division of the Mid Devon League.
Second spot, and promotion from the Forth Division was gained by winning the last 7 games of the season and edging past the second placed team ( Marina ‘B’ ) by just 4 points.
Next season we will be playing Teignmouth Den, who were promoted with us, along with those teams remaining in the Third Division ( Kings ‘B’, Newton Abbot ‘B’, TCBC ‘C’, TCBC ‘D’ ) and the two teams relegated from the Second Division ( Paignton ‘C’ and Torquay ‘B’ ).
We look forward to the challenge ahead and continuing to enjoy our bowling.
Alan Pallett, John Pearce, Fred Harvey – ‘B’ Team Selectors.
