Ringwood Bowling Club end season celebrating success

As the outdoor bowling season concludes, the club rejoiced over a successful year, with members achieving impressive milestones.

The Ringwood Ladies underlined their prowess by making steady strides in the Bournemouth & District Women's Bowling Association's Triples League.

After being promoted to Division 1 in 2024, they notched up more successes this year, winning Division 1 by a seven-point margin from Knyveton Gardens, and thus, becoming the B&DWBA Triples League Champions for 2025.

Meanwhile, a team made up of Lee Croad, Nagasair Sookram, Steve Hill, and John Sanderson showcased their tenacity by successfully navigating through six matches to emerge as this year's Bowls Hampshire Men’s Senior Fours Champions.

As winners, they had the honour of representing Bowls Hampshire at the Aviva National Men’s Senior Fours Championships.

Here, they exhibited remarkable skill by advancing to the quarter-finals before succumbing to the Gilt Edge BC (Worcestershire) team 21 – 6.

Steve Hill also marked his presence at the Aviva National Men’s 2 Bowl Singles Championship, but unfortunately, tasted defeat at the hands of Kyle Anderson.

Carol Broomfield, alongside her partner Janet Ballard, qualified for the Aviva National Women's Over 60's Pairs Championship by winning five matches.

They then lost out on their quarter-final match to Val Davis and Liz Lock of Devon by just two shots.
