NEWS, MAY 2024
Harpenden Bowling Club would like to thank all our visitors who attended our two Come and Try Days. Whether signing up for coaching or just enquiring, it was a pleasure to see you all. Some of the weather was challenging but that did not prevent numerous visitors from playing on our green on both days. A testament to our green gang and their constant attention during the close season. Once again thank you for coming and our coaches are looking forward to seeing our visitors returning for their coaching sessions.

Playing in warm and sunny weather, Harpenden ladies got off to an encouraging start in the Women's Top Club competition by winning against Hemel Hempstead. The next round is against Welwyn and District at home on 25th May. A friendly mixed triples played just inside the Beds border against Stotfold resulted in an exciting and tight match resulting in a loss of just six points.
Following their win in the preliminary round of the National Top Club against Mill End, Harpenden's men played Potters Bar in the first round. John Osborn got the first point on the board for Harpenden with a 19-4 win in the two bowl singles and Nick Muir followed this up with a 21-9 win in the four bowl singles. With Harpenden 2-0 up, the team just needed one more point from the pairs, triples or fours to win the match. Harpenden's triple of Kevin Brazier, Trevor Glanfield and Tony Redford were next to finish. Going in to the final end level on shots, Harpenden won the end to win 16-15 and secure the win. At that point, Harpenden's pair of Trevor Tharby and Neil Herrington were leading comfortably 21-10 and Harpenden's four of Andy Stephenson, Gordon Burrow, Roy Polley and David Brooks were leading 19-15 to give Harpenden a clean sweep. Harpenden will play Welwyn Garden City in the next round.
