DOWNSMAN BOWLS CLUB UPDATE JULY 2025 

Crawley Town Centenary

2025 see the centenary of Crawley Town Bowls Club and they are holding an Invitational Fun Day on August the 11th and we have been invited to send 2 mixed triples.
They also have a small exhibition regarding their history being held at the Crawley Museum during the month on July, so please go along and take a look.

Our News
Our new members are progressing extremely well and are embarking on their couching journey.  All bar 1 are new to the sport but show a great aptitude for the game and will become great assets to the club I am sure.
Matches against other clubs continue, with friendlies and league games, and all with a modicum of success and several players are competing at county and national level and we wish them continued success.

It is great to hear that Jo Streeter has again been selected for county representative matches and for the England Ladies shortmat squad, much deserved.

On the 6th July, two teams took part in the West Hoathly Invitation Triples and although rain curtailed the event, Tony Ludbrook, Colin Rose and Jo Streeter came out as winners - congratulations.


For more information, please contact club captain Tony Ludbrook on 07702 463198 or visit our website at www.downsmanbowls.co.uk
