Ormskirk Bowling Club

The underlay has now been largely put on. The gutters will be done this week ready for the carpet fitting at the start of next week.

Our carpet and underlay arrived this morning and, similar to a normal household carpet, the fitters have been putting gripper rods around the edge of the green. The underlay will be fitted this week and the carpet at the start of next week

The grass green was being raked today by Mallinsons ready for seeding at the start of next week. The carpet for the artificial green should be arriving on Monday. Not long to go……

Last night our Ormskirk League team secured a stunning away win on the notorious Asmall House green.  We had five winners, with Steve taking the scalp of Geoff Bixter.  We took the aggregate by a significant margin, by 181 to 153 points.  This is the first League victory for the new Club.

Due to the fact that our new green won’t be ready for next week our first home fixture will no longer be at home to Aughton Town Green on Tuesday coming.  We are pencilling in the first home game as Wednesday 20th April as potentially the first home fixture (where Ormskirk ‘B’ play MCA Ladies), but this could be subject to change. Not only will the carpet need fitting, but also the path completing so we don’t tread dirt all over it.  If you play for a team keep an eye out from communication from your captain.

The fixture this coming Tuesday will be reversed and will be played at Asmall House.  The Ormskirk ‘A’ fixture on Wednesday next week will be played at the Halton Castle, as they have kindly lent us their green.
