Many congratulations to our County Finals winners:
Chris Pretty (Unbadged Two Wood) and Bev Lilley, Sheila Garlick and Rose Merritt (Benevolent Triples)
This is the culmination of all the effort put in to get through the earlier rounds and we all know what a marathon that can be! You should all be deservedly proud of your achievements and Devizes Bowls Club is very proud of you
Well done ladies.
Ian & Ellen, Club Captains
Despite some dreary weather, particularly on Saturday, the bowls over the weekend was anything but! We witnessed incredibly close and competitive games that truly captivated the spectators. Congratulations to all the winners and runners-up! Thank you for providing such a fantastic display of bowls from start to finish.
Here’s the full list of results:
I would also like to extend a huge thank you to the many people who supported in making the weekend a success: the ladies in the kitchen for providing refreshments, the bar staff for keeping us watered, the members for setting up all the kit, and the markers for generously giving their time.
This year we will be holding a presentation evening on October 11th to officially hand the trophies over to the winners and runners-up. Please keep an eye out for further details and sign-up sheets at the club.
Best regards,
Matt Thompson
Captains Day was well supported and became a fun day with seven rinks of Triples playing competitively included knocking over sandcastles you had to be there to see that play out.
Fabulous weather just the right temperature with full sun shining on us all !
Followed by a really special lunch and plenty of beverages consumed.
The support given to the day is just what club membership is all about ,volunteers everywhere, well done everyone who helped and participated !
Well done Captains !
The Disability Bowls England game was a great success today and everyone had a very enjoyable afternoon. The atmosphere was very upbeat and jolly, and although there was a range of quite severe disabilities amongst the DBE players it certainly didn’t deter their determination. It was heartwarming to watch. The fact we lost didn’t matter as the Devizes team took it all in good part and the camaraderie became the most important aspect of the day. Thank you to all the Devizes members who played and made it the success it proved to be.
A very BIG thank you to the catering team – Jane Thompson, Sue Coombes-Daniels, Vron Hams, Babs Galloway and Helen Abbots-Darbyshire for providing a first class tea, and also Sheila Turner and Terry Miles for manning the Bar. Thank you also to the members who made such delicious cakes and thank you to our President, David Greenwood, who came along to meet and greet the players.
Devizes Bowls Club was showcased at its best, you should all feel very proud.

Devizes Bowls Club did an amazing job hosting the Balcomb Trophy, and it was all made possible by an equally amazing team of volunteers working together preparing the greens and the premises, preparing and serving food and running the bar, and of course promoting & managing the event and dealing with the media – well done all concerned!
This is an excellent achievement and an inspiration to us all…
Well done Dave, on passing your Level 3 assessment whilst marking at the Balcomb Trophy!
Level 3 is the highest possible in Bowls England, which means Dave is now qualified to mark any Bowls England game, including National Finals!
