On the Green
Nailsea Bowls Club is active in many local leagues.
Men’s section - Somerset County league, C&D Evenings, C&D & Weston triples, Friendlies all to play for – why not help us succeed?
Saturday afternoons we enter two teams of 3 rinks each, into the Somerset County League. Currently the A team play in the Divison 1 North league whilst our B team have gained promotion to Division 2 North.
Wednesday evenings we enter 5 rinks in the Clevedon and District evening league, and have gained some measure of success, most recently winning the annual Charity Shield competition.
Through the week we thrive in the cut and thrust of two local triples leagues. We generally enter 6 rinks in both The Clevedon and District triples league and the Weston and District triples league – gaining promotion to Division 1 in 2024. Plenty of competition come (light) rain or shine.
Also thriving, for players of all levels, we play home and away in a fluid ‘league’ of friendly matches, entertaining clubs and touring sides we might not otherwise compete with. Often members enjoy a friendly afternoon tea with the opposition and retire to the ‘club house’ for a convivial drink to finish the day and analyse the result.
Ladies Section - Weston & District and DRT league plus friendlies
We have recently joined the local Weston & District league where we put out 3 rinks of fours on a home and away basis. We were pleased with our first years results and are improving all the time.
The DRT league is 3 rinks of triples where we have an established team who have consolidated their position over a number of years.
Our newer members are encouraged to develop their games as part of our programme of friendly matches played home and away throughout the season. We also play a number of mixed friendlies against local clubs in injunction with the men’s section (this gives a chance for couples to play together if they wish).
In recent years we have also entered a mixed team in the local North Somerset league which is a great place for newer members to play some “friendly” but competitive bowls.
