Sue’s Message
I am delighted to inform you that  Debbie Sales, Frances Lavender, Doreen Butcher and Kellie Margerrison won their Championship Fours against Essex County 18-11 held at Romford BC yesterday. Such an achievement. Unfortunately Debbie, Doreen and Hayley (sub for Tina) lost the Triples  as did Debbie and Kellie in the Pairs. But they all qualify to go to Leamington Spa for Aug 19th For the Aviva National finals representing Essex. It was inspiring to watch your skills , focus and teamwork. On behalf of myself and your fellow bowlers at DBC i would like to wish you great success and enjoy the experience.

Congratulations to our Men’s Triples team of Alan Simmons, Peter Yarwood, and Dave Eaton
on reaching the semi-finals of the North West Essex Triples Championship.

The team has enjoyed an excellent run to the last four, defeating Thaxted and Castle Hedingham in the earlier roundsbefore securing a hard-fought victory over Witham Mill Lane last night.
Well done to Alan, Peter, and Dave, and we wish them the very best of luck in the semi-finals!

Peter Yarwood, Men’s Club Captain

Dunmow Bowls Club played in the first round of the Memorial Shield and was knocked out by Witham B.C.
A good win by our away team by one point 20-19 (Dave Wastell, Steve Richens, Alan Simmons and Dave Powell)
But unfortunately, for the home team, it went to the last end where either side just needed one point to win the overall match
(Roger Attridge, Peter Yarwood, John Cogswell and Dave Eaton) but Witham BC won that end and the match 41-39.
Better luck next year.
Peter
