​15th May - Ladies ‘A’ Area County Singles

The Ladies had a busy 2 weeks in the County Singles competition with 8 Clock House entries of the 18 total. Inevitably in the early rounds Clock House Ladies were playing each other, however Hayley, Rebecca and Michelle Squires made the ‘A’ Area semi-final, with Hayley and Rebecca making it through to the Final on 15th May at Haynes Park. What a match, with Hayley leading 17-8 after 18 ends, it seemed all over but Rebecca had other ideas. 10 ends later they were still at it with the score 20-16. With 5 shots from the last 3 ends, Rebecca snatched the match 21-20 after 31 ends.

Saturday 13th May - Ladies National Top Club
 
The Ladies started their National Top Club campaign with a home tie against local rivals Upminster.
With a stronger team than last year, with six County badged players in the squad, expectancy was high.
​
 ​Hayley Kenny, competing in the single event, after a close start, had a comfortable win 21-11, as did the pairing of Margaret Tinton and Rebecca Smith by the same score. The triples, Jane Preston, Debbie Walmsley and Serena Madgewick had a similar margin win by 20-9. The rink, Angela Ueckermann, Jan Tallentire, Michelle Carlin and Michelle Squires had a resounding 53-4 win, with which the score board couldn't cope. So with a
​4-0 win and overall points tally of 115-35 to Clock House, the result was encouraging.
Upminster have to look forward to a return to Clock House on Saturday 20th to contest the 1st round of the County Top Club competition.

29th April - Ladies Challenge
A warm sunny afternoon and the Club's opening competition of the new season resulted in a great turnout for the "Ladies Challenge" event, traditionally meant to be a warm up and practice for the Ladies who in the next few weeks will launch themselves into the early rounds of the County Competitions.
Well they'll have to give themselves a good talking to.
​Even though the Ladies had a winning margin of 3 shots, 86 to 83, they only managed to win on 2 rinks out of the 6 rinks being played.
Ladies Captain, Michelle Squires, was enraptured with the result.

Can you spot the difference between the Club's changing rooms.
That's right the Mens looks like a "S... Hole"
IMPORTANTLY…. Bowls Bags should NOT be in the changing rooms.
All Bowls bags that were on the floor in the Men’s changing room have been moved to the outside around the snooker tables and book cabinet. If you have any clothing hanging up, please remove this by Tuesday coming. Any clothing hanging after this day will be removed. Our league matches commence on Wednesday 3rd May. Our facilities should not be an embarrassment to visitors, get it sorted!​
