Kingsley Bowling Club News

There was quite a turnout for the 'Wine & Wisdom' evening at Kingsley on Saturday. Nine teams battled hard, fuelled by wine, cheese, crisps and the odd pork pie. Eventual winners were visitors to the Club, 'North Devon Numpties' with a score of 45 out of a possible 60, only one point ahead of runners up, 'Neiless' who were also visitors. In third place 'Dunno' actually did know some answers because they came third with 42 points. For more photos of the event click HERE

A party of twelve from Kingsley IBC have descended on Potters Resort in Norfolk for the weekend. What could possibly go wrong? :)

Bideford Strand BC faced Byeways BC in the last of the Kingsley Shield league stages yesterday. Byeways knew they had a task ahead of them, with a 'for and against' points difference of 37 to be overturned if they were to reach the final. However as the match progressed they slowly pulled clear of their opponents, eventually winning by 84 shots to 55. With both Strand and Byeways now on four points, at first glance it appeared that Byeways had not done enough but once the scores were added to the table they were clear winners with a points difference of 21 shots overall. Byeways will now meet Bideford Victoria Park BC in the final next Sunday, 3rd March at 10am.

Come and enjoy. As this is usually well supported it is advisable to book a table if you wish to sit with a particular group of friends.  If so, please let Gill/Mike know asap.

Please note January’s bingo will be on Saturday 20^th.

This Sunday saw two matches played in the Kingsley Shield at Kingsley Indoor Bowls Club.

In a close match between a pair of Parks, Barnstaple's Rock Park and Bideford Victoria Park were neck and neck right up to the final end. With the final score of 63:67 it was Victoria Park who eventually clinched victory.

In the second match of the day it was Barnstaple (Ashleigh Road) who beat Combe Martin 66:59 in another close contest.

25th November saw the first night of racing at Kingsley Indoor Bowls Club

Around 50 people had booked their seats for the first Race Night to be held at Kingsley Indoor Bowls Club.

Punters were treated to six main races followed by a loser's race with eight entrants drawn from all of the losing betting slips.

Five video screens were set up and shouts were heard encouraging the punters horses with cheers and groans as the races progressed. Some saw their horses fall at the first hurdle which almost led to tears, along with some jeers - people can be so sympathetic, can't they.

Altogether a fine and fun evening which, if all the positive comments received show, was enjoyed by everyone present.
