Due to a rearrangement of the S&D women’s leagues, Hedge End Bowling Club ended up with a team in the B league (Hedge End 1), led by Anita and a team in the C league (Hedge End 2),led by Fay. Despite challenges facing both teams, they each put in a credible performance and should remain in their respective leagues for 2027.
Hedge End 1
The team had a very eventful season, with several players from the original squad subsequently not being well enough or suffering injuries, which meant they were unable to continue. We were fortunate that several new members, many of whom had not played competitive bowls before, agreed to step in, and they all performed very well. In total, Hedge End 1 played 14 matches, winning 8 and losing 6. Several of the matches, which we unfortunately lost, were very close, with only one or two shots between the winning team and us. We finished in a very respectable 4th position in the league table, which means we should stay in the Triples B league.
