Germany v Scotland

Get ready to cheer on Scotland in the Euros at our club! Join us on the 14th June as we watch the first game against Germany on the big screen in the Big Hall. Whether you’re a member or not, everyone is welcome to come and support our team. Let’s come together and celebrate a victory – doors open at 5pm. Don’t miss out on the excitement, be there!

Sighthill v Wellcroft 2024

Not going to lie, the weather was dreadful and not a soul (or sole) was dry.
The rain pretty much poured all day which limited us to start playing 12 ends which was quickly cut short to 6 ends only as the greens started to puddle rapidly.

As usual the games were played with great enthusiasm and great banter and I think it’s safe to say everybody had a good time although the games were cut short.

Sighthill won 41-26 with a difference of 15 to take to the return fixture in August.

Big thanks to the caterers for the food provided.

Of course a massive thank you to Stan Blyth and Bob Bryce for organising the day so well.

Pictured at the bottom is Sandy Watson and Scott Kirkland who were initial starters of this friendly.

Opening Day Is Coming!

Opening day on Saturday the 6th of April is only 2 weeks away and we’re all busy getting ready for the big day. Team Selections for the WEBA leagues and the EBA leagues are almost completed, the greens are looking superb and with a bit of luck the weather on the day will be fantastic.

The club committee has been working tirelessly to ensure that everything runs smoothly on opening day, every detail is being carefully considered.

Members are eager to hit the greens and show off their skills, there’s a buzz of excitement in the air as everyone looks forward to reconnecting with old friends and making new ones on the green.

With the anticipation building, the countdown to opening day is on. We can’t wait to kick off the season with a day full of friendly competition, camaraderie, and hopefully a few wins. It’s shaping up to be a fantastic start to what promises to be another great year of lawn bowling at our club.

Join the above pictured reprobates and introduce yourself to our new members.
