Hazel lands a new role at World Bowls

A very busy day for Wayne!

Wayne Griffiths from Berriew BC qualified for two Mongomeryshire finals which were to be held at Welshpool Town BC back in July - the only problem was, the finals were scheduled on his wedding day!

Wayne played the County triples on the Saturday morning, played an excellent game and won the title, he then excused himself and went to get married over the lunch period. He returned to play in the Final of the County fours that very afternoon, which unfortunately he narrowly lost.

Wayne then proceeded to his wedding party which was also held at Welshpool Bowling Club.

WWBA Secretary and senior team manager, Hazel Wilson has been appointed to the World Bowls board of directors.

Hazel, who is well known to most of us, has represented Wales herself on a number of occassions since 1998 and won the National Singles Title in 1999 and was also crowned British Isle Champion in the year 2000.

She has used all her sporting experience as team manager for the WWBA at the Commonwealth Games and the Atlantic Rim Games and will doubtless make a great success in her new role.

Wales vs Australia Test, a great success all round

Disability teams

The Australian ‘Jackaroos’ were recently on a 14 day tour of the UK and the Welsh leg was a great success and contained some truly great bowls.

Australia had comprehensive wins in both the open and para-sport disciplines.

On their final day in Berriew the wet conditions and a boiut of ‘flu’ for both teams definitely affected the games.

Australia performed strongly on this final day and wrapped up a series win and went off to Leamington Spa to face England in the final Test of their tour.

Crown Green 2019 Finals The 2019 Welsh Crown Green finals day at Benllech BC truly delivered a veritable feast of great bowls. The event was hosted by the President Dave Mathias with excellent support and help from WCGBA Management members and Gwynedd Area Officials. Clive Morris, a great supporter like his late father, Gwyn, was also there and guest Ken Burton, a Director from Bowls Wales.

The Referees for the day were DT Evans, Alan Davies, Arthur Peake and Ian Black.

Benllech is not an easy green with its prominent crown and dips and hollows in unexpected places and gave the 32 players plenty to focus on. In the first four, no one player stormed away with a strong lead. The four blocks seemed to be evenly matched and it was Scott Parry (St Asaph) who reached double figures first in his game with Craig Jones (Cunliffe). Craig, down at the start, stayed with it to win 2115. Bryn Hughes (Craig Y Don), Ryan Short (Bangor), and Daniel Jones (Llanrwst) also made it to round two.

In the middle section, Gary Roberts (Craig Y Don) had a nail-biting game with Michael Pritchard (Llanrwst) and won 21-19. Dave (Rocky) Jones (Esclusham) had a comfortable win over Mark Lamb (New Brighton) 21-11. John Bailey (Llanrwst) sailed into round two. Not so lucky, John Bonatti (Coed Talon) could not get past Geraint Booth (Llanfair PG) and lost 21-11. Down to the last sixteen. Craig Jones stormed away with a stunning performance to beat Bryn Hughes 21-6. Lewis Scott (St Asaph) also got away well and won his game 21-9. Nick Jones (Chirk AAA), Gary Roberts, John Short (Beaumaris) and Geraint Booth also earned their place in the last eight. Paul Hallett (Llay) quietly got on with his first and second round matches to join the others in the quarter-finals.

Craig Jones was not so lucky in his game with Daniel Jones and lost 21-13. Nick Jones and Lewis Scott were closer at the start with Lewis winning 21-15. Gary Roberts led from the start of his game. He was 12-4 in front against John Short. He stayed in the lead all the way to win 21-4. Geraint Booth and Paul Hallett had a tight game in the early stages before the rain came. Geraint went ahead to finish 21-16.

In the Semi Finals, Geraint Booth met Gary Roberts, with Geraint 10-4 in front.

Gary, a former winner of the Merit (in 1969 ) then chalked up a few ends to bring the game 10 across. Gary took the lead 11-10 but Geraint pulled away confidently first to 14-11, then to 17-11. Geraint won his place in the Final with 21-14. In the second Semi Final, Daniel Jones started off with a 11-7 lead against Lewis Scott.

Some spirited bowling from Lewis brought him 17-12 up and he was to triumph with a 21-14 win.

The stage was set for the Final and this did not dissappoint, with gasps of delight and disappointment from the spectators as first one player then the other won or lost an end. Geraint Booth appeared very cool and some of his precision bowling made Lewis work hard to stay with him. In the end Geraint really began to pull away and won a comfortable 21-12.

Geraint Booth is therefore the 2019 Senior Merit winner and represents Wales at the BCGBA Merit in Derby. This also enters him for the Champion of Champions at Blackpool later in the calendar.

Bowlaway still offers the same excellent standards of customer service for which it is known, and still works with high-quality hotels, ensuring your tour is not only great fun and well-organised, but also very comfortable. And of course, they still arrange bespoke itineraries of bowls matches to suit your timetable, making sure everything is smoothly coordinated so that you can have an enjoyable and successful tour with the minimum of fuss.

THE TEAM: Kirsty Speller is the newly appointed Manager of Bowlaway, she ran the business for more than 10 years previously and is now excited to be back after a year off. Kirsty brings fresh enthusiasm to Bowlaway and works hard to maintain the excellent standards for which Bowlaway is known.

Geoff Jones, a well-known figure on the local bowls circuit, is the long-standing Fixtures Coordinator.

BOWLAWAY HOTELS: Bowlaway work closely with some fantastic hotels in Bournemouth, all of which are known for their friendly and welcoming hospitality.

For indoor tours there are three clubs within a 15-minute drive and many more slightly further afield.

by Clive Barrett Following their arrival in Portugal on the Tuesday afternoon, on Wednesday morning Builth bowlers went straight into the serious business of their Algarve tour - outdoor bowls!

They firstly played at Floresta Luz Bowling Club on the only artificial surface of the twelve days. It was a a very pleasant sunny day, however a strong wind made good bowling difficult.In a competitive match the Mid Wales tourists were leading their expat opponents after 15 ends, but fell away during the last three ends - losing by just 9 shots overall. Steve Jones' rink was the best winning four. Builth were proud of their opening tour performance, especially when they heard that Floresta rarely lose at home, and usually win by ‘a cricket score’.

The first Friday took the tourists to Valverde Bowling Club, and it proved to be an excellent day bowling wise, despite a cold rain shower, it turned finer later. Captain for the day, Steve Bailey enjoyed the highest winning rink, with the other rinks also victorious on a good grass surface. Final result Builth 75 Valverde 42, the visitors thus winning by 33 shots. Again this win was described locally as an ‘excellent victory’ because the Valverde Club players are very competitive, hardly ever lose, and never by the above margin. The local expats confirmed that the day was the coldest of the winter, as they had enjoyed lovely weather for the previous month.

On the Sunday the group travelled to play at Balaia Bowls Club, which is actually part of the golf club complex of the same name. However what a day, because it rained for most of the day, all bowlers were forced to come off for coffee after six ends, going back on the green after the rain break they managed a total of 12 ends. Although normal in Wales, this unexpected and unheard of weather for the Algarve resulted in the most rain for months. Nevertheless the tourists won three of the four rinks played, Jackie Thomas had the highest winning rink, and the scores were Builth 57 Balaia 35, their second victory of the tour.

On the Tuesday morning the visiting bowlers went to Tavira Bowling Club, which turned out to be a privately owned club in the country side. Again the weather was not up to the usual Portugese standard being cloudy with rain. Playing against a very friendly team of expats, Builth won two rinks, lost two, but it was a third victory of the tour by the narrow margin of 8 shots, 67 to 59 shots.

The second Thursday was probably the best and loveliest day of the tour. The Mid Wales bowlers travelled their furthest of over an hour to Pedras Bowls Club, who are always very competitive. Although they lost on three rinks, the tourists won by 58 to 54 shots overall, their fourth straight victory of the tour, retaining their unbeaten record on grass over four overseas bowling tours. Adrian Jones skipped the biggest winning rink. In the afternoon the group enjoyed a half day tour to the very pleasant location of nearby Tavira Town.

Friday was another glorious day and saw the final bowls match of the tour to nearby Alvor Bowling Club, only 15 minutes away. The Builth bowlers achieved the distinction of winning three rinks, all by four shots, surely a morale victory, but actually lost by one shot overall. Jackie Thomas' four was the best on count back of ends won. Interestingly on the above rink the home opponents included both a German bowls champion, and a Portuguese champion, together with expats from Manchester and Aberdare. A feature of all prematch procedures was the haca performed by the Builth team in recognition of their mascot ‘Bully’. It was a very successful and enjoyable bowling tour holiday of 12 days in the Algarve. Of the six matches played four were won, and only two lost, one by nine shots on an unfamiliar artificial surface, and the last by a single shot to very strong team Alvor.

Finally it must be said that all the clubs played were both strong and competitive.

Spotlight on Drakes Pride Bowls PROFESSIONAL: Very successful on both indoor and faster outdoor greeens. A mid-bias line with a consistent finish offering a greater range of shots. Medium & heavyweight, sizes 00-5 heavy/ medium.

XP BOWL: XP Numerous top players have assisted and advised Drakes Pride on the ideal line they are looking for in an outdoor model, this has resulted in the 'XP'. The perfect balance of the Professional whilst adding the touch more bias required for the outdoor game.

Sizes 00 - 5 Heavyweight only D-TEC: The profile of this amazing new model was designed to meet the demands of the Team Drake players who were looking for an indoor model with a tight line with just enough bias to turn into the head, but with a soft finish with no hook. The feedback from players has been superb.

Bowl Profiles TIGER The Tiger is a full biased model that was developed because of the increasing need for a bowl that suits a multitude of playing speeds.

The Tiger will suit both the competitive player and the more socially minded bowler.

The bowl has proved to be one of the most successful ‘TV tournament’ models since its introduction.

Due to the ‘Ergo’ profile, the Tiger is appealing to new and existing bowlers who require improved delivery.

TIGER II The Tiger II is the third member of the ‘Ergo’ family of bowls, complimenting the very successful Dreamline and Tiger models.

There is a growing trend in many clubs for a slightly wider bias bowl than the Dreamline.

The Tiger II is a mid-biased bowl that will suit the player looking for a multi-purpose set of bowls.

It is a contemporary design of bowl with a gentle and predictable trajectory, and is the widest drawing of the ‘narrow’ biased bowls currently available.

It is highly suited to all players,

The standard Henselite grip

including skips who may require a bowl that has a relatively strong finish to draw around short bowls in the head.

TIGER PRO

Given the huge successes of both the Tiger and the Tiger II, it was found that top bowlers were still seeking for a bias choice between the Tiger and Tiger II lines. After a period of testing, the Tiger Pro bias was manufactured as that ‘in between bias bowl’ that is much sought after. The Pro has become the fourth member of the ‘Ergo shape’ range. To be approved by World Bowls Ltd one day and used by Alex Marshall and Carol Ashby the next when winning the World mixed pairs says a lot about the quality and trust the top players have in the bias consistency of the Henselite brand.

CLASSIC II The Classic II is the original narrow biased bowl. This narrow version has less bias than the original Classic model.

Manufactured with a traditional Classic bias for bowlers who can play on all types of green and require a consistent draw.

The Classic II, with its midstrength bias, is well suited to slower outdoor greens and also performs well on faster indoor carpets in the UK. Distinctive finish commonly referred to as a ‘hockey stick bias’ and recognised for its ability to draw around cluttered heads.

Atomic Red

Ocean Green

CLASSIC TRL The largest selling bowl in the world. This bowl was established in 1930 and is still standard in most countries. Winners of more gold medals at World Bowls and Commonwealth Games than any other model of bowl. The bowl, with the famous ‘hockey stick bias,’ is an excellent wide drawing bowl for holding greens.

GREENS & GREEN MAINTENANCE

Terrain Aeration cures waterlogged bowling greens

When standing water occurs on the bowling green, due to heavy rainfall and compaction of the soil beneath the green, it is often not enough just to use normal aeration methods to assist drainage. Terrain Aeration’s approach is different. The Terralift machine hammers a hollow probe one metre into the soil, with the help of a JCB road breaker gun. Once this depth is reached, a blast of compressed air is released to fracture and fissure the soil. On the tail end of the air blast, dried milled seaweed is injected into the fissures. This seaweed, over a period of time, expands and contracts with the moisture content in the soil, similar to "breathing" underground, which helps to keep the fractures open longer. The probe is removed and the process repeated using two-metre centre spacings on a staggered grid pattern.

This grid ensures that each probe shot links with the previous ones. As the Terralift machine uses two metre spacings, it was decided to leave the engine/compressor off the green and use an umbilical air hose to supply the compressed air. This means that there are less wheels on the green and less scuffing marks with stopping and starting.

The probe hole is then backfilled with an aggregate to provide a long term aeration/ventilation shaft, allowing air and water to percolate into the fissures. The top 1" 2" should have a cap of your normal top dressing to encourage the grass to grow over the holes. The result is an improved healthier root system, a healthier sward as well as less disease damage to the turf. There is no mess, treatment can in fact be carried out mid season, should the green be too waterlogged to play, but otherwise pre or end of season is the best time.

Despite people's "fears" that the Terralift ‘makes the earth move’ - it does, but just enough to show that the ground has been fractured from one metre depth back up to the surface. The slight "heave" will settle down and you are left with a smooth playing surface. Terrain Aeration say the green should be spiked or hollow tined as normal, prior to the Terralift treatment - this is purely to relieve the surface tension to allow the air from the machine to gently blow through the top surface without causing any disruption. Once a bowling green has had this deep aeration treatment, the process would not be required again for many years - 12- 15 years perhaps, so it is also cost-effective as well as long term. The club can continue with their own top surface aeration treatment as normal, with their spikes/tines linking to the Terralift machines fractures. www.terrainaeration.co.uk
