Bloomfield Players awarded Somerset County Trials!

Everyone at Bloomfield would like to congratulate Lynn Newport and Kevin Jones, whose achievement in reaching the National Mixed Pairs semi-final last season has been recognised by the County awarding Lynn a Johns Trophy Trial, and Kevin a Middleton Cup Trial.

Good luck to both of you!

Presidents Day 2011

President Mrs Vera Froud hosted an excellent afternoon of bowls, refreshments and socialising, topped off by an entertaining and inspiring after tea speech

The weather was kind to the 60 members who took part in the bowls and 88 bowlers and spectators enjoyed a cracking after match tea.

All in all a perfect way to kick off the 2011 season!

28th June - No place in either team for Lynn or Kevin and they lost their Pairs game v. James and Stef. Branfield.  However they have both reached the Quarter Finals of the County Singles which will be played at Taunton on Monday 4th July.  Congratulations to both!

4th July --  Mixed fortunes for Kevin and Lynn.  Kevin won his game 21 - 13 and now meets Craig Doughty of the Bath B.C. in the semi-finals atBristol B.C. on Sunday 17th July. One game away from Worthing!

Lynn lost her game but went down fighting. Better luck next year

The Bloomfield Triples were held on Sunday 3rd July when 28 teams played in stunning weather.

The event was well supported, the bar did extremely well; and thanks are due to Daphne Hawkins and her team who provided the welcome meals, coffee and tea.  Thanks also to Beryl Sawyers who ran the bar almost single handed

The eventual winners were a team from Clarrie Dunbar IBC (again!) and the runners up were Bath Post Office.

The Somerset County League ended on Saturday 3rd September and the Club acheived notable successes.

The 'A' team were not only promoted to the Premier League, but became Divisional Champions.

The 'B' and 'C' teams ended their  season by topping Division 3 East, with the 'B' boys Champions and the 'C' team close behind in second place.

These results reflect a great team spirit, with a total of 56 players involved throughout the season.

The successes are underpinned by good communication from the Captain and Vice captain, together with a sound and consistent selection policy.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Finally for 2011, Lynn Newport and Ross Turnbull  became  the 2011 Club Champions at our Finals weekend. Well done both!
