Bowls section (Results at the bottom of the page)

The Bowls Section has approximately 30 members made up of a very thin sprinkling of serving officers but mainly retired officers and their families together with some associate members.

We play about 55 competitive games per season, over about 20 weeks. The outdoor season runs from the first week in May through to mid-September. The section does not partake in indoor bowls during the winter but most members have individual membership of various Nottinghamshire clubs.

Since we lost the bowling green at Epperstone Manor in September 2003, after 50 years, we have played our home games on Nottingham City Council's greens , firstly, at The Forest Recreation Ground, Nottingham and we now play at Valley Road, Sherwood

The Club, which still maintains the name Nottinghamshire Constabulary Bowls Club, plays in FOUR different leagues in Nottinghamshire, embracing the two codes of flat green bowls, EBA (English Bowling Association) and EBF (English Bowling Federation).  We also partake in team cup competitions and individual members are encouraged to enter National and County competitions.

Serving and retired officers also have the opportunity to represent Police Sport (UK) in various regional, national and international police bowls games.

JUNE RESULTS

Our results in June have been extremely disappointing.  We played 14 games and only won 3.  Perhaps, playing in Division 1 in all four leagues is the root cause of the poor results.

1st      EBA Russell  Away Won 6–0
2nd   EBF Glover Trophy 1st Rd Calverton Home Won by 14 shots
3rd    EBF Steel Trophy 2nd Rd Nottingham Proprietary Home Lost

22nd    EBF Glover Trophy 2nd Rd Lowdham Home Lost
24th   EBF MW Porchester Away Lost 0-7

MAY RESULTS

 

We have not had a particularly auspicious start to the season.  In May we played 16 games and won only 6 and lost 10, albeit, one or two by very slender margins.  The poor results may have come about due to all four teams now playing in Division 1 of their respective leagues.

The weather has been very kind and we have had no postponed games unlike recent years.
