County Competitions (2021)


Ixworth once again had good representation at both the Ladies and Mens County Finals.   The block of Ann Lilley, Pat Jennings and Jenny Ronchetti won the 2 Bowl Triples, but unfortunately Jenny was not able to play in the National Finals at Skegneses; Christine Chambers came in as a reserve , but despite giving their all they fell at the first hurdle.  At the Mens County Finals Matthew Smith won both the 2 Bowl and 4 Bowl Singles.

At Skegness he reached the Semi-Final of the Four Bowl Singles, but like the ladies fell at the first hurdle in the 2 Bowl competition.

Paul Cook as in the previous year played for the County Newton team in the National Final, the team gaining their place at Skegness by winning the Knock-out competition which replaced the ‘League’ structure because of the Covid virus.  Unfortunately on a difficult green they did not replicate the success of 2019, the last time it was played.

 Ixworth Bowls Club Finals Day (2021) was held on Sunday 19th September.  The 2021 season had some restrictions, some leagues decided that there would be no promotion/relegation; but in the main normality returned and the club was able to have a full programme of club competitions.  On finals day, not only did competitions return to normal so did the weather.  Following a week of fine sunny weather the rains came at Sunday lunchtime.  After an extended midday break the rain ceased (for a while) and play continued.   The club president John Sharpe was in attendance and the matches providing a very enjoyable day. Photographs of the day can be accessed by the link on the HOME page, or by clicking HERE.
