MATCH REPORTS:

2008 has been a relatively good year for the City of London Bowling Club. We played host to an historic and prestigious meeting between the inaugural 2008 Bowls England President Cliff Waterman and the President of Bowls Asia & the Malaysian Bowls Federation Tun Dato’ Seri Ahmad Sarji. The first time these two bowling associations had met formally for talks.

On a County scale the club reached three Middlesex County Bowling Association finals, winning the coveted Middlesex CBA Fours title through the efforts of John O Flynn, Steve Brewer, Andy Leeks, Simon Evans. Who just failed to reach the inaugural Bowls England National Championships Fours Q-Final by just 9 shots. However the four did go on to reach the final of the Home Counties Bowling Association Fours Championships.

The club had two players (Andy Leeks & Simon Evans) represent Middlesex County Bowling Association in the Middleton Cup Team and three players (Mark Mansell, Andy Leeks & Simon Evans) represent Middlesex County Bowling Association in the Home Counties League Team.

It was also good to see John O Flynn and Steve Brewer awarded their Middlesex County Bowling Association badges on becoming Middlesex County Champions (Fours).

Losing 21-17 to the eventual winner from Wanstead Central Bowling Club. The City of London Bowling Club has had representation in four London Parks BA finals over the last two years.
