Dyserth Bowling Club

Now that summer is here (!?!) the bowling season is in full swing and despite the weather we are all enjoying our sport.

In June, in addition to the normal league matches, we held the Cunnah Cup. An open singles competition in memory of our long time member and President, Hefin Cunnah who sadly died last October. We had 32 participants from all over North Wales taking part, and with a 9.30 start and not finishing until late into the day, it was a major event. However, we had a team of willing helpers making sure all needs were met, with particular emphasis on the provision of bacon rolls!! etc managed by Jan, Hefin’s wife. At the end of a testing day’s bowling, followed by a hard-fought final, the trophy and prize money was presented by Jan to Mr. Chris Slater from Min Y Don. A welldeserved winner!!

Turning to our league teams, we are enjoying a mixed season so far. Our ladies’ team is showing everyone else the way, currently holding second place in the Ladies “A” Division. The Vale of Clwyd and Seniors “A” teams are also doing well in their respective “A” Divisions, whilst the respective “B” teams and the NW Coastal team are finding life a bit tougher this year. However, it’s early days yet, so there’s no doubt they will move up their respective tables. What all this shows is that we have places for all levels of ability and are not just driven by results. It’s a sport, a pastime if you will, and enjoying the company of others in a game we all love, is fundamental. So don’t be afraid to make contact us, there will always be a place for you.

As a footnote, we should congratulate Hazel Griffiths and Pauline Etty on winning the Ladies Pairs Competition, held this year at Trefnant. This is the second year the club has won the trophy.

The quality of our green continues to receive positive comments from visiting teams, with the surrounding hedging and garden all a credit to those hard-working volunteers who make it all happen.
