Short Mat Bowls 2024/5 season

Winslow Bowls club plays in a short mat league commencing in mid-September and ending mid-April.

  • Monday night is our regular roll up night except when we have away matches that fall on this day.
  • Tuesday evening is our home match night.
  • Both evenings begin at 7.00pm Casual clothing is the order of the day for roll up evenings with grey trousers /skirt and white top required for matches (club colours).
  • The format is 4 triples games in an evening with each triple game comprising of 10 ends.   2 points are awarded to the winner of each game, 1 point to each team for a draw.
  • On match nights refreshments are served after the first two triples have been played.

Winslow also play in a cup competition, 'John Robinson Memorial Cup'. 

  • The format for this is singles 4 woods (2 games), Pairs 3 Woods (2 games) and Triples (2 games).Twelve names are drawn out on the night in the order that the games are played.

Refreshments are served after the Pairs have completed their games.

It is an enjoyable way in which to spend a couple of winter evenings and enjoy good company. There is a chance to take part in and internal Club competitions and the odd external friendly. Some club members play for the County team and if you are interested more players are always welcome.

If you are worried about travelling to away venues, we can arrange transport and usually double up so that the minimum number of cars is needed. Why not come along and have a go. Guidance as to the rules and coaching will be given.
