Beaufort Bowls News
With our rink winning the Welsh Senior Fours in 2023, we were allowed to represent Wales at the Atlantic Senior fours in 2025. With Steve Batten and Paul Hayden unable to attend, the four was made up of Chris Denby, Tom Moodie, Clive Williams and Peter WIlliams.
In the mens fours they had mixed results with a few very good wins, a few poor defeats and a couple of unlucky results.

With poor weather affecting the greens, the final day of the group matches were played indoors and with our team and Cyprus out of contention it was decided our game didnt have to be played, hence the 0-0 scoreline.
This competition was followed by the mixed fours competition and we were split up and mixed with the ladies of Ynysddu.
Wales A was Terrine Lane, Clive Williams, Jackie Jones and Peter Williams and Wales B was Tom Moodie, Linda Warwick, Chris Denby and Heather Collins. Both rinks had good qualifying results to qualify for the last sixteen.

Although both teams were well beaten in the semi finals, they were well pleased to come away with a bronze medal each. Everyone involved thoroughly enjoyed the experience and are grateful to everyone who supported them.
A great day at the club again as the MBA President, Peter WIlliams, brought a team to play against Beaufort to thank the club for his nomination and all the support they have given him.
A great day yesterday to kick off a special year for our club. The Welsh president, Heulwen Morgan, brought a team to the club to play against our three presidents, Julia, Darren and Peter.
An exciting year for the club as we can boast three presidents this year which is our ninety ninth year. Darren O'Callaghan has been elected West Monmouthshire Bowling Association President this year and we wish him well in his year of office.
A long season is coming to a close, the ladies finished with a defeat at Blaina but a very good season for them. Our PG team also finished with a defeat at home to Barry Romilly 10-4.
The ladies continued with their impressive form towards the end of the season with a 10-0 win at Gilwern and a 8-2 home win over Trelewis.
Apologies for last week but a very busy time for me with the national finals going on and everything else so will try and catch up today. The Nationals didn't go great for us but the guys should be proud to reach this stage of the competitions.
