The Club held its first junior coaching session on the new green on Saturday morning. After carefully changing footwear to prevent grit getting on the green, the players tried out the target wedges and mats. James Fairley took the player of the day trophy.
Four members of our club (Ryan Maughan, Emma Gill, Natasha Hauley and Jack Denning) turned out for the Lancashire Junior team today at Coppull against a very strong Staffordshire side. None of them won (in fact the whole home team of 12 players lost) but Emma Gill got the Player of the Day trophy.

The carpet has been laid and they are now stretching it out to ensure it is taught. This will need to continue on Friday as it is quite a big job. Action packed video below!
The carpet is now being laid. This should be finished by the end of the week. Please do not use or go on the green yet though as we have to wait until the tarmac is laid. As soon as it is usable Members will be informed and we will have a special session.
Four players from our Club will be in the Lancashire Junior Team (Home Team) against Staffordshire that will play at Coppull Conservative Club next Sunday afternoon. Congratulations to Tasha Hauley, Emma Gill, Ryan Maughan and Jack Denning. Full team on the following link – http://www.bcgba.org.uk/junior-county-live-r1.html
Well done to our junior bowlers who represented our Club in the Ormskirk West Lancs Junior and Youth Teams today. They played at two greens at Thornhill, near Dewsbury in deepest, darkest (and rather cold and drizzly) Yorkshire. Natasha Hauley played for the Youth team despite being under the 17-20 age limit. Rylan Irwin, Jack Denning and Ryan Maughan played for the Junior Team. Matches took place against Heavy Woollen (Dewsbury) and Rochdale with the Juniors winning both their matches against Rochdale and the Youth managed one win against Rochdale. Full result cards can be found on the Bowlsnet website under the webpages link. Rylan did particularly well to win his first ever match on his debut at only the tender age of 10, and he had only played one competitive singles game before today.
Please note that the Ormskirk League fixture on Tuesday against Our Lady’s will be played in the park in Ormskirk as the fixture could not be reversed. It will be a 7pm start.
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
