Welcome to Torquay Bowling Club
A good end to the season
Not only have our ladies SDLBL B team secured promotion for the third successive season, they are promoted as champions for the third successive year winning all 12 games.
Also a very good season for the SDLBL A team who finished second in Division 1.
Our team in the Over 55’s V division came top. Very well done even if not quite so successful in the finals.
Our Ladies triumphed in the SDLBL 4-3-2-1 Final against Newton Abbot at Victoria.

Finals weekend starts tonight with the men's Singles Final starting at 5 pm. Everyone welcome.
Everyone enjoyed the game with yesterdays tourists, Ledbury, and Captain Norman's after match speach. Commiserations to their highest losing rink for being given disguises to get back into the hotel. https://t.co/FH5VCYJDip
Our ladies are through to the final of the SDLBL 4-3-2-1 competition. They play Newton Abbot at Victoria, so no reason why we can't go and support them, on Friday 7th September starting at 5 pm.
Blackwood tourists came like all Welsh sides, to win, but their dragon couldn't save one rink from defeat. Another very enjoyable afternoon with excellent company. https://t.co/lmdObBmQ9M
Club Charity
This year’s charity is the Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust who are raising money to plant 3000 trees at Churston Woods. Many of the trees there had to be culled after a tree infection was detected last year.
