Our ladies started off the week with a disappointing loss on all rinks against local rivals Prattens during Tuesday’s match, but it was all uphill from then.

A good win away to Frome Selwood on Thursday, followed by another away to Bloomfield in the Fear Cup on Friday, and they will now play Bath in the next round - well done girls.

The Men won their delayed game against Keynsham in the Turnbull cup on Tuesday and our ‘A’ team played our ‘B’ team in the MSL on Wednesday, resulting in a win for the’A’ team. Unfortunately, the ‘A’ team game away to Portishead RBL fell victim to the atrocious weather on Saturday and will be rescheduled.

We are now gearing up to the Winter indoor bowls that will be upon us before we know it. Purnell are holding an open morning in our indoor bowls hall on Sunday 6th August from 10am. Anyone interested in trying their hand at indoor bowls, whether beginner or experienced, come along and give it a go. Our club is situated on Bristol Road, Paulton, BS39 7NX.
