The Dorset Youth Bowls Academy were well represented in the Dolphin junior team which went to Bristol for the annual match between the 2 clubs. The match is played over 2 days in singles, pairs, triples and rinks (4’s) and both teams are mixed. This year was Bristol’s turn to be hosts and a wonderful job they did with Thomasina Goodman leading the way. The entertainment, buffet, raffle and tombola on the Saturday evening ensured everyone was ready for bed before the bowls recommenced on Sunday morning.
Over the 2 days there were some exciting games and the standard of play was exceptional. This was appreciated by family and friends of both teams and the young bowlers benefitted from the support given and raised their game accordingly.
At the end of the 2 days Dolphin brought the trophy back to Poole after winning 5 of the 9 singles, 4 of the 6 pairs, 3 of the 4 triples and 1 of the 3 rinks matches.
I know the bowlers are looking forward to the next episode which will be at Dolphin during the spring half term holiday 2025.
From everyone in the Dolphin Team a big thank you to everyone at Bristol IBC.
