WELCOME TO BURPHAM BOWLING CLUB
NEWS Updated 9 September 2021
9 Sept 21 Congratulations to our Knaphill Triples squad on winning of the competition. We last won it in 2019 so this represents a back to back win 'cos it wasn't played for in 2020 due to the Covid pandemic. And not for the first time either. Burpham previously won it, again back to back, in 2003 and 2004. Blog and pictures here.
7 Sept 21 The Finals Weekend of 4 -5 Sept were a big success. More information and photos can be found on the blog - click here.
Burpham BC has also done well in other competitions. Burpham A topped their Knaphill Triples
leagues and will appear in the Finals of that competition against other league winners on 9 September at Knaphill BC. In the Old Codgers (Guildford Woking and District Tuesday Triples league) we finished 3rd so will feature in the Challenge Match on Finals Day between teams finishing in the top 5 places in the Guildford and Woking areas. In the West Surrey Triples competition Simon Fillary, Alan Mogg and Colin Colbrook have reached the latter stages and will play Chertsey at Old Dean on 4 September (morning) for a place in the Finals on 11 September. Supporters are welcome at all these events.
31 Aug 21 We have arranged another challenge match against Guildford Lions Club on 15 Sept. Most of the Lions are not bowlers and will appreciate some help but will still be hell bent on winning!. We have invited the Lions to bring their partners along. At this time we have no idea of numbers or formats - that will depend on numbers - but it is intended to be a fun day. There will be simple eats afterwards for which a small charge will be made. If you are interested in taking part please enter your name on the sign-up sheet in the clubhouse.
Aug 22 Sunday Our County Club Top Fours B team reached the finals day at West End on Sunday 2 August. In spite of a valiant effort they suffered the same fate as our A team going out to a Knaphill team, but managed to get onto the podium in 3rd place. See the external comps blog for more info.
