Sunday 15th May -  Bowls England Playoffs at Oxford City & County Bowls Club

Bowls England held playoffs at Oxford City & County Bowls Club on Sunday 15th May, between 2019 and 2021 National Champions to decide their representatives for the British Isles Championships to be held at Llandrindod Wells, Wales, at the end of June.
​
​As 2021 Women’s National Fours Champions Hayley Kenny, Michelle Squires, Serena Madgewick & Rebecca Smith from  Clock House were representing Essex and were facing a tough task against the 2019 Champions, Kings Club, Devon team, Lauren Hackett, Carole Blackwell, Hayley James & Emma Cooper. A steady start by Essex put them in the driving seat, until a 5 shot winning end by Devon pulled them back to within striking distance, however the Essex girls rallied and booked their places to Wales, with a 23-16 point win with Devon conceding after 20 ends.

​If that wasn’t enough entertainment for the Barmy Army supporters from Essex, Hayley Kenny returned to the green, teaming up with Jasmine Wilson of the Radwinter Club, as 2019 Women’s National Junior Pairs Champions, to face a playoff against Rebecca Moorbey & Chloe Brett of Huntingdonshire. The Essex pair had a fairly comfortable win 21-12 after 17 ends.
